Is there a Perl Module The Does GCC like precompile on C++ files ?

I am not seeing anything on CPAN ... but maybe my coffee has not kicked
in yet

If you mean a preprocessor, then see the -P switch in

perldoc perlrun

You have occasionally pointed out that you are not clairvoyant. You
just proved the opposite!

I knew you were going to say that!

I think maybe i should be more clear ... I would like to preprocess IDL
files with a perl script ... not preprocess perl

Oh, yes you should. You should also read the posting guidelines to learn
how to adopt an effective posting style: One which makes it easy for

What do you mean by 'preprocess'?

I want to take an IDL file and preprocess it ... like someone would do
with a C file
(http://www.lns.cornell.edu/public/COMP/info/egcs/cpp/cpp_toc.html). I
want to catch the output of the preprocess and store it in a tmp file.
That tmp file will be used by another process.

The trick is ... I only have access to Perl ... so I can't use gcc. So I
was hoping I would not have to implement this myself.

Your answers will be (and are) very much appreciated

What did you find when you searched CPAN?

I found this:

http://search.cpan.org/~ram/Pod-PP-0.1.2/PP.pm

It looks reasonably close to what I need.

However it looks like a beta and that it is no longer being maintained.

So, you skipped the first match?

DESCRIPTION ^

A fast C preprocessor in XS. This does not require an external C
preprocessor, and will not fork() or exec() any external process.

Indeed it looks like I did ... I'll give this a shot! Ooops ...

Only down side is that it still looks like a beta ... but i'll try it
anyways ...

Thanks,
