That looks like the standard Perl infrastructure for interfacing to C. How does 
the called C code read and set Perl variables? How does a Perl script running 
in nested environments pass a command running in a specific environment? Think 
multiple ADDRESS statements in a REXX script with all of TSO, IKJEXEC and 
ISREDIT.

Embedding scripts in HTML is old hat by now, and not what I was referring to. 
Hmm, how about an RFE for ISPF panels with embedded Perl code? Substitute, 
Java, Python or Ruby if you prefer ;-)
