c++ and perl

nirf1 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I would like to call c++ functions (that are inside a shared object (*.so)) from a perl code. What is the best (and simple - if possible) way of implementing it and achieving that goal? Thanks, Nir

I haven't tried it, but Inline:CPP looks rather promising. Update: I looked at the smoke results and reviews, perhaps it's not that promising. If the stuff you want is callable from C, try Inline::C instead.	[reply]

Hi, I am using inline::CPP in order to get access to CPP functions located in shared objects that I have. I searched the web for the right way of loading a shared object into the perl (so that I can call for the cpp functions directly from the perl code) and haven't found none. Does somebody know how it is being done? Thanks, Nir	[reply]
