I'm using perl to invoke an ActiveX Control. As the control output data by return a memory address, I need to read data at the address directly. Is there way to do it?

There are several. I'd use Inline::C, since it should be easy to write a little C function to read whatever data you need to access. If you're not a C hacker then you might find Devel::Pointer useful, although I've never used it. -sam	[reply]

Thanks a lot. Inline::C is just what I need. But I think Devel::Pointer is not for this kind of problem.	[reply]
