Title: C++ integration using PerlEmbed
Post by: MT001 on January 03, 2014, 08:06:56 AM
Hi,
I'm working on a c++ project (Windows) that can call exifTool executable and it works fine.

Now I'm wondering why not directly call exifTool source (written in perl) in my project using the solution proposed here  (http://perldoc.perl.org/perlembed.html)( http://perldoc.perl.org/perlembed.html )

Has someone already tested this solution ?
What you think about it ?

Sounds interesting, but I don't know of anyone who has tried this.  In Windows, this would of course require that the user has Perl installed (and the same version that your project is compiled against).
