Hi monks,
Is there any way by which we could deteremine the size of string variable returned by POPp command ( used in perl embed ). I need this because i use
char string[2058]; strcpy(string , POPp)
. But the problem is some times the string returned (pointer ) by POPp is greater than the size i already allocted. So i want to dynamically allocate the size required. Could any of the monks tell me how to do this.
Thanks
Kiran.

'perldoc perlapi' says
POPp

Pops a string off the stack. Deprecated. New code should provide a STRLEN n_a and use POPpx.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
