Hi all. This may be off topic and I apologize if it is but the message
thread above ties into something I've been pondering recently.

There was a post last week that made reference to Chris' MacPerl::Glue and
its use with RealBasic.

The thread above makes reference to embedding perl in C++ programs.

This got me thinking about MacPerl and RealBasic together (I have both).
Here is a link to Real Software:

<http://www.realsoftware.com/>

RealBasic is extensible. it has a plugin architecture. Here is a link to
the RealBasic SDK:

<http://www.realsoftware.com/files/REALbasic_Plugins_SDK.hqx>

My question: rather than embedding snipets of perl into C++ programs, is it
possible to embed the MacPerl runtime into a RealBasic plugin?

RealBasic IDE + RB GUI tools + MacPerl runtime plugin + CPAN = MacPerl/RB?

Cheers!
