Calling a C program from Perl can be done with the XS mechanism. XS stands for eXternal Subroutine, and is the most common way to provide Perl-to-C linkage. However, you may need to learn something about Perl internals. There is a tutorial about XS at the same website (or via the perldoc command-line program): <http://perldoc.perl.org/perlxstut.html> Good luck! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
