in thread Inline::C with MSVC and linking external library

No. That parameter is basically the command line switch for the compiler to link the named library, -l and then the library name:

use Inline C => Config => LIBS => '-lyourlib';

So, in your case, I would try

use Inline C => Config => LIBS => '-lusbi2cio';

    Ahh, thank you for your help. That works! I also discovered that doing
    use Incline C => Config => LIBS => 'usbi2cio.lib';
    works just as well as what you provided.
      I also discovered that doing use Incline C => Config => LIBS => 'usbi2cio.lib'; works

      That was my point. The clue was in the error message: Note (probably harmless): No library found for -usbi2cio.lib
