hiii all

I'm tryin to call a perl script from a C program in following 2 ways-

1.By callin system function.
But there's some problem because the system function is not able to
executeany command...it just returns -1.

2.By using the code given in perldoc perlembed(perl documentation for
embedding perl in C)
the code looks like this-

#include <EXTERN.h> /* from the Perl distribution
*/
#include <perl.h> /* from the Perl distribution
*/

static PerlInterpreter *my_perl; /*** The Perl interpreter
***/

int main(int argc, char **argv, char **env)
{
my_perl = perl_alloc();
perl_construct(my_perl);
perl_parse(my_perl, NULL, argc, argv, (char **)NULL);
perl_run(my_perl);
perl_destruct(my_perl);
perl_free(my_perl);
}

now wat happens is that it gives error tht it does not recognise perl.h
and extern.h
copying them to Turbo C's include folder doesn help cos then it
compiles these files also n gives 26 errors!!it is also unable to
locate the header files tht these files use.
Is there any way for me to specify in Turbo C,two paths to look for wen
searching for header files.
in options>directories>include directories i gave a comma n gave path
for perl header files..but it doesn work!!!

Pleeeease help...m at the end of my ideas now!
Thanx in advance.

1. Are you using Windows? If so, try running "perl" and the path to the
script as an argument. or if you're not using windows....

2. Did you try specifying the full path to the script?

3. Did you make sur e the script is executable?

Are you sure you are specifying the correct path to the executable?

Every compiler has a specific way of specifying additional include
directories on the command line.

What does this have to do with trigonometry?

Look in the documentation for your compiler.

On the other hand, TC is a 16-bit compiler, and I would not assume
things would work smoothly.

Do you have to use such a dinosaur?
