[MacPerl] Newbie & first question: embedding perl

[Chris Dalton <c_dalton@postoffice.utas.edu.au>]

Hi everyone,

and Matthias, many thanks for developing one *very* cool app for the Mac.
At this point, I guess I should provide some answers to Matthias' newbie
questions as listed in the FAQ.

(Requiste answers)
I discovered MacPerl from a CPAN site (had been using perl on solaris
previously) and downloaded the standalone application via ftp.  I don't
have MPW (which may explain the nature of my question), but have been using
CodeWarrior for a long time.  I had been planing to use MacPerl principally
to write CGIs for various unix web-servers, but can now see the potential
for many other uses...

Specifically, my question is: for someone such as myself (no MPW
experience, lots of C++ CodeWarrior experience) how much work is there is
embedding a perl module, or any perl functionality for that matter, into a
PowerPlant app?  Can I achieve this without having to install/learn MPW or
ToolServer?

In any case, is there any Mac specific documentation? (other than perlembed
etc.)

Cheers, and many thanks,
Chris
