This is a little outside of my Apache internals knowledge, but the way this used to work is that mod_perl would make STDOUT run through $r->print when you print something from Perl. (The mechanism for this changed over the years and I've lost track of how it works in mod_perl 2.) Your C library will not get that, and will probably need to print things the same way that an Apache module in C would. I imagine you could pass it the needed Apache structures from perl, or you could do as you mentioned and have it send the data back in a form that you can read in perl. - Perrin
