Question

I have a very big Perl module, and I am expecting to call it in my Visual C++ project. I know there are tools like perl2exe and pp that can convert Perl modules to standalone executables (abc.exe).

I don’t like the standalone executable because it makes the interface very complex. I have to call the Perl module by creating a process and communicating with it using standard input/output.

It will be much easier if the Perl module is a C/C++ static library. Just link it and call a function!

Thanks in advance!

You can’t (yet|easily) compile modules. Instead, embed the Perl interpreter as a library.
