embed win32 app in LV

[crikett]

I have a custom Perl App that has been compiled into an exe.

I would like to embed it into a LV app.

I'm looking for suggestions as to how to do this.

**Reminder, I'm a noob to LV**

Thanks

If you are running Windows, you can invoke the .exe using the SystemExec.vi in the Communication Pallette. This VI will let you execute any DOS command with parameters, just invoke the Perl code using the command input.

By the way, you should also look at the following link to see about interfacing to Perl without building the Perl code into an executable.

Hope this helps,
