So you are embedding a perl interpreter into an XS extension because you need to call a Perl subroutine from that extension. Is that right? If so then you should just be able to manipulate the Perl stack and make the call using call_sv or similar. Take a look at perldoc perlcall for help on this. Or let me know if I'm not understanding you correctly. Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
