Hello Monks, I'm seeking to be at peace with Inline::CPP. This is my test code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Inline 'info', 'force', 'clean';
use Inline 'CPP';

print "9 + 16 = ", add(9, 16), "\n";
print "9 - 16 = ", subtract(9, 16), "\n";


__END__
__CPP__

random junk;

int add(int x, int y) {
  return x + y;
}

int subtract(int x, int y) {
  return x - y;
}

You'll note the glaring random junk that should cause gcc to error, but it doesnt, it compiles fine, and then perl complains that &main::add is undefined. Here is the output:

$ ./testInline.pl

Information about the processing of your Inline CPP code:

Your source code needs to be compiled. I'll use this build directory:
/home/andy/projects/rigel/libs/_Inline/build/testInline_pl_6b67

and I'll install the executable as:
/home/andy/projects/rigel/libs/_Inline/lib/auto/testInline_pl_6b67/tes
+tInline_pl_6b67.so


<-----------------------End of Information Section--------------------

Use of uninitialized value in join or string at /usr/local/share/perl5
+/Inline/C.pm line 603.
Undefined subroutine &main::add called at ./testInline.pl line 7.

I'm using Slackware64 14.2+current, perl 5.28, packages installed via cpanm. If I test with Inline::C is works fine, but CPP doesn't. I'm lost, and cannot seem to find my way.

Thanks for your time.
