[GRASSLIST:247] Grass interface to other languages

GRASS GRASS user

I need to use some of the grass functions(v.distance) from the another
program which is written in perl. Are there any perl modules already
created for
this. If not I will try create this, and will need some direction from
grass developers regarding the API into the grass library and which lib
to use.

Thanks

I don't know specifically about Perl, but in Python it is easy to call Grass functions and capture the result with os.system(). The only hitch is that you need to execute the program from within a Grass shell.
