/*
Adding a Perl interpreter to your C program 

In a sense, perl (the C program) is a good example of embedding Perl (the language), so I'll demonstrate embedding with
miniperlmain.c, from the source distribution. Here's a bastardized, non-portable version of miniperlmain.c containing the
essentials of embedding:
