Howdy ho!

I got a rather interesting question I am trying to find the answer to.

We have a rather large software package running here that is written in COBOL.  This program
as an overlaying user interface that is now written in C', creating an X-windows interface.

This software allows for user specified code to be input/compiled into certain points of it...

I've written a nice X-Type GUI interface for one of these user exits, written in perl5 w/Tk Exntentions.

Now the fun starts.. How to paste it all together.. I have information I need to compile C' code into
the COBOL, and have things work, but I really need to get the COBOL program variables/data into
the Perl program I've written.. I get this stuff into C with no problem.. So right now I'm thinking of
passing the stuff to a C' program via  CALL "user_c" USING BLA-PARAMETER-LIST.
then having the C' code call perl to do it's stuff...

Is there a simply way to just pass data between perl and COBOL instead???

If Not... The question needs to be answered in the PERL groups... How can I access these variables
from PERL... Is there an easy way to simply access the C' .h data structures from perl with out the need 
of C', or do I have the paste all three of these together...

Hope this makes sense....
