Dear Inline Users,

Here is a question about the possibility of the
implementation of an Inline module using callbacks.
(Note that I have not studied the internals of inline
yet, but I figured that asking would be the fastest
way to figure this out)

Lets say that you want to get access to the results of
the inline code just after compiling from the backend
system.

For example, imagine Inline::SQL that will allow you
to embed a sql statement.
Then imagine a "showplan" statement that will show you
how the query will be executed, but return it as perl
data structure. 

When you want to do the showplan or execute the
statement you can get a DBI connection object filled
with the results.

Now imagine inline::DCE::RPC that will run the IDL
text through an IDL compiler and return a perl object
that describes the IDL via a in-memory object.

Do such applications fit into inline, and how would
you get the results back from the backend assuming
that you dont want to use intermediate files?

Would you have to register callbacks?

Mike
