Programming

Hi there,

if you want to write an application partly in C and partly in Perl and have a final executable binary is it possible to do so. If yes, how ?

My motivation for asking this question is that there are certain tasks that are so tedious to write in C while it can be taken care of in Perl in like 20 lines of code ! Hence i would like to have a hybrid source (partly C, partly perl) yet still be able to generate a binary executable in the end.

Any suggestions ?

If you want to write it in Perl, why write it in C?

You can use libperl++ to call some Perl things from C++ but that amounts to dragging around a full-fledged Perl interpreter with you wherever you go...

You could write it in Perl, with Low-level calls (if not already available) written in C through the XS interface
