static variables in perl

[ranadhir]

We have a requirement similar to the 'initialization' routin in c++.
i.e. at the first execution of a perl script we need to execute a registration script(regsvr32) for a dll;prior to using that dll from with perl.
This registration script should be by-passed in subsequent executions of the perl script.
Is this possible?

Is there anything you can call to enquire on the registration status of the DLL first?
