It took a bit of a break from xs for (been pythonging among other things),

I took some advice from Mattia,
and got it to compile by adding

   DEFINE => ' -TP ',

instead of 

   CCFLAGS => '-TP',

along with moving the c++ includes before the perl includes

   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <iostream.h>
   #include <stdlib.h>

and adding
   #include <math.h>
to the list.

Here's how it goes:

MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
