I am considering embedding perl 5.10 in a large C ++ application compiled with VC ++ 6.0. This leads to two questions.
1) Is it nice to use Strawberry Perl as a dependency rather than compiling my own perl with VC ++ 6.0? Will Strawberry work even if the compiler doesn't match? I assume Strawberry compiled with mingw. I would really not want my own native perl assembly.
2) If I went along the route of Earthlings, would something like Inline :: C work in the embedded application? You will have VC ++ 6.0 code calling mingw compiled by Strawberry, in turn calling the compiled user code mingw. Inline :: C will be a great opportunity for what I'm trying to achieve with the perl built-in interpreter.
