If you were talking about just #define, I'd say http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/Include-1.02a/Include.pm But: > For example, Consider "headerfile.h": > > struct sample { > int x; > }; > > Then in my C program I might do the following: > printf("The size of a headerfile is %d\n",sizeof(headerfile)); > Can i do the same in Perl? I am having a hard time picturing what you might use this for in Perl. You might look at h2ph, which comes with perl.

Thank you. I shall check the link and have a knowledge on it. Actually, i just came up with an idea of merging the C header files in Perl. And searched in net, since i could not get a proper solution, i mailed to the list. It was just my idea and not for implementation. Wanted to learn more on that. Anyways, thanks once again.
