I'll look at gnv. Thanks BTW, I will also need to provide access to a C library from perl. I currently known 3 ways of doing that: - XS (with core perl) - Swig [1] - Inline::C [2] XS should work out of the box. Inline::C should also work pretty well since it generates XS code. SWIG is a interface generator written in C++ (mostly g++, AFAIR, compiling with HPUX acc was not possible). The first problem is to compile it on VMS. Has anyone tried any of these alternatives ? Thanks [1] http://www.swig.org/ [2] http://search.cpan.org/~ingy/Inline-0.44/ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
