rhymejerky has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am using INN on Solaris and it constantly failed when the perl_call_argv( ) is called. I know this function is called when the C code tries to call a sub in a PERL script. I am wondering what library (if any) are involved when this function is called. I googled on this function and only found info on how to use this function. Can anyone give me a pointer to understand this function better and what to look at when this function mailed (ie, compiler, gnu libraries) Thanks

    You probably want to look in the perlcall and perlembed documentation in the first instance.

    In summary perl_call_argv (called call_argv in the documentation) is used to called a Perl subroutine from C code - it is probable there is an error in the subroutine being called.
