Inline::C is a module that allows you to easily write and call C functions. Get someone to show you how to write a simple C program that calls the functions you want to call in the library (the .so). Once you know how to write those C function you can add them to your Perl script with Inline::C like this: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Inline C => "DATA"; print num_of_characters("abcdef"), "\n"; __DATA__ __C__ int num_of_characters(char* string) { int i; for (i = 0; string[i] != '\0'; i++) {} return i; } You may also want to read this article: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=151114 If you do not understand any of this, well you either have a lot of studying ahead of you, or it is time to hire a consultant. -- Chas.
