in reply to Using Inline::C in a package

I have no experience with Inline::C, but the following line seems suspicious: 
use Inline C;

[download]

I would say there is a :: missing on line 7.

Update.
It works for me if I change it to 

use Inline 'C';

[download]

Note that using the fat comma (=>) automatically quotes the C. This problem only happens under strict.

    No. The OP is exactly correct. That is how Inline C is used. Though it is normal followd by some other arguments; Eg. This is my standard usage:

    #! perl -slw
use strict;
use Inline C => Config => BUILD_NOISY => 1;
use Inline C => <<'END_C',  NAME => 'rdtsc', CLEAN_AFTER_BUILD => 0;

SV *rdtsc() {
    return newSVuv( (UV)__rdtsc() );
} 

...
END_C
use Data::Dump qw[ pp ];
use GD;
...

      OK, I stand corrected. Is the repetition of the use line also demanded?

        Often yes. See my update above.

      So does the C code go before the package declaration? I'm confused on where the perl methods go before or after the C code.

    To clarify why it's "that way":

    You actually are using Inline, with the C plugin. So "C" is an argument passed to Inline similar to how a function name might be specified in an import list.

    The reason it's often seen "bare" is because it's quite common to do it this way:

    use Inline C => 'DATA';

# ...

__DATA__
__C__
/* C code here */

    [download]

    In which case the "C" is actually quoted by the fat comma (=>) operator.

    Multiple uses of Inline C =>... are common and ok; one is often used to specify configuration settings, while others are used to initiate inline code sequences either via a here-doc or the __DATA__ segment.
