1) Naming: does not matter, but popular choices are:
no extension (can rewrite later in any tool, like C or java)
.pl or .perl (tells people what it needs and that it is text)
2) Finding:
To use just entry name (my_perl_cmd), must be in $PATH (PATH=$PATH:/my_additional_bin_dir_path -- relative paths not recommended )
Else (declasse even when developing), must give a good, explicit relative or absolute path ( /my_additional_bin_dir_path/my_perl_cmd ).
3) Calling:
To be called without mentioning PERL, must be executable to you in file mode, and have the interpreter full path (/usr/bin/perl or whatever) and optionally one argument after #! on the first line.
Else (declasse even when developing), you can call perl directly and pass the script as a command line argument [ programfile ], which requires it has any necessary path and probably only be file mode readable to you. If perl is not in your PATH, it needs a relative or absolute path.

Hi,
I have a shell script which connects to a database and fetches the count of the records from a table. I want to embed this whole script in a C program. Also the count fetched should be available in the C program for further usage.
Please let me know how this can be done.
Thanks
