  I do not know the answer to your question... just a note, though: having
a .cpp extension msy not be enough, in general (it is for MSVC and gcc),
since perl provides you with a C compiler, and, in general, compiling a C++
file with a C compiler has undefined results (gcc/MSVC try to figure out
the language from the file extension, but there isn't any guarantee other
compilers will do that).
