in reply to Combine Perl with C++ or C

> When do you believe it would be wise to implement C or C++ code into your Perl Code. Or perhaps the question should be, what programming problems would be assisted in using such a technique?

Pros are

  1. time criticality
  2. drivers for special hardware
  3. perl language extensions
  4. (updated) code reuse
  5. ... (to be extended)

Cons mostly outweigh the pros.
