Need help to call perl module from C/C++ code without loading the perl libraries	Can't Post

Hi,

I am new to perl. I have a requirement to call a perl module from C/C++ code without loading the perl libraries. I am not supposed to use the "system" call also. I am looking something similar to "dlopen" call which we use to load the shared libraries dynamically from a C/C++ code. Basically I wanted to keep perl and C/C++ code independently. Generally we can embed the perl into C/C++ code by including the include files EXTERN.h and perl.h. While compiling the C/C++ code, we need to provide the perl libraries. As per my requirement, I am not supposed to provide any perl libraries while compiling the C/C++ code.

Any idea how to call perl module from C/C++ code without loading the perl libraries other than “system” call?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Murali

Hmm, XS is more to work your route the other way around: writing a C or C++ extension to a Perl program.

The OP wants to write a Perl extension to a C program. I know that this is possible, but I have never done it, so I can't help much. But my understanding of what I quickly read on the subject was that you have to include the perl libraries. So, no idea on how to do it without including the libraries.
