Sankar

Dear All,
I am developing a C application on a linux platform that has many
functions . My requirement is to call those functions from Perl.

I would appreciate if you could give some pointers in this regard.

My requirement is sth like this

C fucntion

int square( int a)
{
....
....
return(a)

}

in my perl file i should be able to do this.

a = square( 10)


Thanks in advance
Regards

Marco has pointed you in the right direction. More specifically:

-----------------
use warnings;
use Inline C => Config =>
BUILD_NOISY => 1;

use Inline C => <<'EOC';

int square(int a) {
return a * a;
}

EOC

$a = 173;
$a = square($a);
print $a, "\n";
