in reply to calling perl program from C++

You're using the wrong quotes. You are passing

perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts -e ldopts

as an argument instead of embedding its output in the shell command. Use backticks.

      ExtUtils::Embed is part of the perl distro. You told cpan to force the installation of Perl. God knows what effect that had, but I'm not going to try it to find out.
