Yes I do. Let me explain myself a little more. If you are using the standard perl interpreter to run a program that loads an extension module you have written using XS then there is no point in linking yet another copy of the interpreter into the process. All you need to do is to code the subroutine call in your XS code and it should work. As I said, if you read perldoc perlcall then you should find an example of what you want to do. Obviously I can't be more specific without knowing more about your requirement. Are you trying to execute a callback subroutine that was passed in the original call to your extension? Or is it just that you want to do something that is neater and more concise written in Perl?
