Hey monks,

As per ur suggestions to my earlier thread 'embed perl in C', I installed free Borland 5.5 C/C++ compiler. I copied 'extern.h' & 'perl.h' header files from 'C:\perl\Lib\Core' to 'C:\borland\BCC5\include' directory. My perl embedded C code is 
#include <EXTERN.h>     /* from the Perl distribution     */
#include <perl.h>       /* from the Perl distribution     */

static PerlInterpreter *my_perl;  /* The Perl interpreter */

    int main(int argc, char **argv, char **env)
    {
        my_perl = perl_alloc();
        perl_construct(my_perl);
        perl_parse(my_perl, NULL, argc, argv, (char **)NULL);
        perl_run(my_perl);
        perl_destruct(my_perl);
        perl_free(my_perl);
    }

When I compiled this program I got the following errors

Then I just copied all the required header files(only those which are not found in borland include folder) from 'C:\perl\lib\core' directory to 'c:\borland\bcc5\include' directory.

After copying I still am getting errors like

Can I use borland C/C++ compiler for embedding perl in to C? If I can not which compiler(freeware) should I use for this purpose?

Is there any other way I can embed perl script in to C & C in to perl?

Thanks in advance
