Calling Perl from C - Problem with DynaLoader

[Paul Boyce]

Hi, 

I am trying to call Perl from C. I hit a problem when I try to load dynamic 
librarires.  I have taken the following code from the PerlEmbed documentation 
(http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.4/pod/perlembed.html) but cannot get it to compile.

I am trying to play with parameters to the gcc compiler but so far with no luck.

Here are the contents of my c file:

#include <EXTERN.h>
#include <perl.h>

 static void xs_init (pTHX);

 EXTERN_C void boot_DynaLoader (pTHX_ CV* cv);
 EXTERN_C void boot_Socket (pTHX_ CV* cv);


 EXTERN_C void
 xs_init(pTHX)
 {
        char *file = __FILE__;
        /* DynaLoader is a special case */
        newXS("DynaLoader::boot_DynaLoader", boot_DynaLoader, file);
        newXS("Socket::bootstrap", boot_Socket, file);
 }  



static PerlInterpreter *my_perl;

int main(int argc, char **argv, char **env)
{
        char *my_argv[] = { "", "sxiconn.pl" };  

        my_perl = perl_alloc();
        perl_construct(my_perl);


        printf ("Loading Perl <sxiconn.pl> file...\n") ;
        perl_parse(my_perl, xs_init, argc, my_argv, NULL); 
        printf ("Loaded Perl file.\n") ;

        perl_destruct(my_perl);
        perl_free(my_perl);
}  


Any suggestions?
