Integrating Perl?

[Chun Te Ewe]

Dear all, I was told by my professor to make a program in Perl and that is done. I now would like to intergrate it into a GUI program that will execute the Perl program. If this is possible, how do I do so? Does the user have to have a copy of Perl on his/her computer? Many thanks. Chun Te

Yes, they'll need to have perl installed, unless you package the perl program up into an exe using perlapp from activestate or perl2exe from I forgot who. Neither are free, but you can get a 7 day trial license of perlapp, that may do the trick. -Lunchy

I love Perl. It's so great that I like with my C++ too. Here's info on embedding a Perl interpreter into your C/C++ projects. No need for the user to install Perl, just build in your own interpreter into your projects.

COOL! It's funny, TMTOWTDI is almost getting cliche. ;) -Lunchy
