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?
