Re: Running a C Program within Perl.

You could use Inline.pm by Brian "Ingy" Ingerson

examples : http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/02/inline.html
module : http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Inline/

    use Inline C => <<'END_C';
    void greet() {
        printf("Hello, world\n");
    }
    END_C
    greet;

Simply run this script from the command line and it will print (you guessed it):

Hello, world

I am trying to run an external C program. I can run it fine from any Unix prompt, but when I put it into a perl program I get a long winded error, ending with "Directory" is not an identifier. Please help me I am very distraught.

Please, post a piece of code :-)

I can run this at the prompt, but putting in the following, /opt/BIPSConnect/bin/rdes, but when I put it in perl code (here is what I am trying to do - Quite simple and nothing complex, until I get this working) ...

#!/usr/bin/perl-Tw
use strict;
my $cmd_to_run = "/opt/BIPSConnect/bin/rdes";
my @results = `$cmd_to_run`;

I get the following error...

/opt/BIPSConnect/bin/rdes: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/usr/lib:/usr/ucblib:/usr/
+openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/local/lib:/opt/hpnpl/lib:/p01cfg0
1/harvest/Harvest/lib:/opt/BIPSConnect/bin: is not an identifier

I am most baffled and confused, please help me if you can.
