in thread Perl XS binding to a struct with an array of chars*

I'm not going to pursue this at work, but I may pick it up again at home.

That "work" environment seems pretty weird to me.
Things might improve there if, rather than using the .msi version they've provided, you installed and ran the "portable" 32-bit SP-5.32.1.1 build on that machine. (I believe you can do that as User.)
Similarly, on your home PC I recommend installing the portable version over the .msi option.

And I do encourage people to install and use Inline::C.
It's the ideal way of doing C and perl API experiments to investigate and tweak the things that will/won't work in the XS environment.

Cheers,
Rob.
