* Date: 11-May-97
*
* Purpose: Imbed PERL code in C.
*
* Notes: This code is based on the examples found in the
* Perl man pages.
*
* Compile: To compile this code you will need a starement simular too:
*
* g++ perl2.c -L/usr/lib/perl5/i586-linux/5.003/CORE
* -I/usr/lib/perl5/i586-linux/5.003/CORE
* -lperl
* -lm
*
* This program uses the C++ compiler as there seem to be problems
* With the header files on Linux when using GCC.
