using perl in a c code

[Ramprasad A Padmanabhan]

I am writing a c program In which I have some heavy text parsing to do.
Unfortunately I am not very conversant with C or Regex in C
I have read about embedding perl into C programs,

Now How Can I do this efficiently

Suppost I want to parse a Mail To: header and want to extract the emailid

like take an example

 @strings = ('"Ram Prasad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ', 
'[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]');

foreach (@strings) {
        while(/([EMAIL PROTECTED])/g){
        push @emailids , $1;
        }
}
print "GOT ALL EMAILIDS in @emailids\n";

__END__

Now think of doing that in C.  I will have to spend two weeks learning C 
regex libraries before I can do this

Instead Can I just embed this perl code  in my c program
I will be happy if someone can give some links to examples on the net
Thanks
Ram
