Perl In C Part 1
By Bryan Young
Perl, which is an extremely flexible and fluid language, in itself written in C, and as such it is easy to incorporate it into your own programs. This is not always necessary for most programs, as it is easy to call a Perl program in its own process by using popen. For persistent programs, this can be a major time-saver as Perl will only be loaded into memory once.

First thing to do is to find the libraries you need from your Perl installation. This can be done from the command line.

perl -Mconfig -e 'print $Config{archlib}'

This will give you the location of the EXTERN.h and perl.h libraries. You then just need to include them in your source code. Once we have this, we simple add a perl interpreter to our code. Below, you can see an example Larry Wall included in the book "Programming Perl"

Even though I have used virtual functions in the past, I never really understood them. They always seemed just beyond the realm of what I believed I could do with a strict typing language like C++. Of course, I had just a vague grasp on polymorphism at the time.

Virtual functions work by taking a function in a base class and allowing derived classes to override its functionality. This sounds an awful lot like a simple function overload, but it is most definitely different. Suppose you have two classes like these.
