Well... let's assume you've read the perlembed man page. I've never stuck
perl into C++ - I have stuck C into perl. It's not terribly hard to work
with perl from C or C++ so *if* you are up to it you can do things that
way. The thing I wonder about is why you are even doing this. Is this
"rogue wave" thing the C++ library to get to your database and you are
avoiding "rogue wave" by accessing your db from perl? Is that the idea?
Regardless, you may want to take a look at my DominoPerl page at
http://www.greentechnologist.org/wiki/wiki?DominoPerl and especially the
correspondence section. There are some other resources on perl XS that I
haven't put into the WikiWiki just due to NotEnoughTime.
The one thing that that sticks in my head is that you could turn this into
a real nightmare if you wanted to. Make *darn* sure you've architected
your application correctly especially considering this hybrid you are
using.

Subject: invoking perl from c++
Hello All,
We are wrinting a c++ program which does a lot of db activity. The problem
is that the library which we are using "rogue wave" is very very expensive
and has a very stringent licensing policy.
I have writting DB programming in perl and have found it to be very easy.
I can call a perl program from a c++ application ? if yes, then I can
write
the DB logic in perl and use in from c++.
what are the advantages and disadvantages of this approach?
regards,
Abhishek.
