Hi All, I just came accross Inline a couple of months ago. It's simply amazing. I don't think I'll every get my head around how it works but it really is magic. I have a couple of (C) libraries that I have been meaning to expose to Perl for a while now. But so far, any time I dipped into the Perl guts documentation, I quickly convinced my self that there are more important things I can do with my time !
Anyway, Inline is the solution I have been waiting for all this time (many thanks again to all you guys). OK, here's what I want to do. I'll explain in a couple of steps. 1. Make my library (functions) available to perl, using Inline so I can call my functions from Perl (effectively build a Perl module using Inline) 2. I also want to be able to be able to pass data from perl (obtained by calling functions in my library) to R and Octave (incidentally, is there an Inline module for R or Octave ) ? 3. I want to be able to write a perl script which would like something like this #!perl package MyModule ; #fcreated using inline use strict; #load data into perl variables using my module ............... #R code section - pass data in perl variables to R #R language section follows #Octave code section - pass data in Rl variables to Octave (possibly via Perl first ?) #Octave language section follows #Return data to Perl Is this possible using Inline ? I look forward to hearing from you guys soon. Many thanks in advance Neil
