Hello, Perl XS guys please provide some insight n advice ....
I'm developing an app that is embedding perl for some web scarping. I developed an perl extension that has to callback into my C++ code while running inside embedded interpreter. If I dynamically link the perl extension as a .dll then the xsub in the perl extension gets called correctly and does what I need it to do. However, if I statically link the perl extension and then link that with my Visual C++ app with the embedded perl interpreter inside, my xsub never gets called ?? The linking process completes and there are no unresolved external symbols. But when my perl code calls the xsub I get an error message saying 'undefined subroutine' in perl. The problem is with my static build of my perl extension. I need to distribute my app and I want to eliminate the dependency on a .dll perl extension, that is why I am build a static .lib file of my perl extension. Anybody have any idea about please help. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. Best regards to all. Manoj.
