T, We presently implement some very proprietary algorithms on our web site that implements case management for trial lawyers. I am anticipating that some of our customers will find a remote web site to be a security problem -- even with SSL. (I think SSL will be two slow for us).
I anticipate that some customers will want to run the software inside their firewall in their private intranet server. Since we have used perl, that would require that we give away the source code. Since we are talking about 20K-50K lines of perl source code, I think the best approach would be to code some key sections up in C/C++ and call those from perl. C/C++ is better than java and C#/VB.NET because those languages can be decompiled easily. Any other ideas?

There are generally clear warnings as to why not to try to do the c code from scratch. Either work with the xs system directly, or try http://www.swig.org which has good and bad sides to it. If you described the problem you're having I can probably help. --t ----- Original Message ----- From: "Siegfried Heintze" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Perl Beginners List'" <beginners@perl.org> Sent: Friday, April 22, 2005 9:37 AM Subject: Starting Template for calling C from Perl > I was looking at "Programming Perl" trying to understand how to write OS > vendor neutral C functions to be called by perl and felt a little > overwhelmed (as usual when reading that book). > > Can someone recommend a template that works with windows/MSVC/nmake or > Cygwin/GCC/make (unix clone for windows platform) that does something > trivial in C like print "hello" or adds two numbers or concatenates two > strings that will run out of the box and I can just modify. > > Thanks, > Siegfried > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> > > > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
