Do you mean you've got to pass data from a C++ programme to a perl programme?

If so, then you could either look into sockets (to communicate directly between the programmes) or just get the C++ programme to write its data to a file, and then have the Perl programme read it from that file.

Hope this helps,

ya like that we can do but here i m running both c++ and perl process in single server and my sir has suggested to use Message Queue only....

That data is in structure format like struct data{ type1 data1,type2 data2,...};
this structure i can easily write in queue using msgsnd(queueId,$data,sizeof(data),type,flag)function and i can easily read it from queue using msgrcv(queueId,$data,sizeof(data),type,flag) and i can extract each data using its object like obj.data1,obj.data2 etc (just example). . but in perl process there is no concept called structure so if i want to read such kind of data from queue in perl process how can i do that. plz share if you have any idea.

thank you..

If I understand you correctly, you want the unpack function. The data you're going to be getting with Perl is just a string of bytes, and you need to tell Perl what data types etc. they are, so it can work out what they mean.
