Simple:
1) I call Perl with a program like it:

"$a=1;"

2) So Perl compiles it and then executes.
3) Control is back to C code.
4) Now I call Perl library again with:

"print $a;"

5) I should expect 1 as result.

In the past, I didn't really make any effort to solve it I saw the calls
acted as independent. The variables of the first call didn't exist in the
second.
I don't know if it was solved. In fact I didn't make the tests, a friend did
it.

:-)), no problem. I said Perl just because I use Perl. And I use Perl because
is much more popular than Python and hence you find much more information,
tools, etc. I don't have nothing against Python.
