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

First of all, please keep in mind that I am a newb!

I'm looking for an elementary level explanation of what dlls are, and how to design them? If you could provide an example of how a dll works, that would also be awesome.

Lastly, I'd really like to learn about how to integrate perl programs into dll files, or have dlls call perl files?

Thanks for any help!

I love it when a program comes together - jdhannibal

    What is a DLL?

    One explanation is here.

    How does a DLL 'work'?

    This link explains it better than I could.

    In my experience I've never designed DLLs. In fact I try to avoid DLLs whenever possible (i.e. I like the C programs I write to be static code).
