Hi monks,

I am totally new to Perl. Now, you are the ones who should help me fall in love with it. I need to quickly setup a perl environment and run a complicated piece of code written by someone else. One look at the code, and I gave up. Perl definitely doesn't present a pleasant face to a new comer. This code uses a lot of PDL, Inline, etc etc. I have installed all these modules from CPAN. There are a lot of custom modules as well. I am trying to run each perl file hoping to find out the dependencies and installing them. Now, I am struck with Inline. I have installed the Inline module.
When I run my code, Perl says that it doesn't understand C, even though I have installed gcc. In the config file in _Inline which it automatically generated, there is no entry for C. I manually put the entry, But I don't have C.pm in the proper place. I copied it from some folder called B/C.pm. Now it says, "Perhaps you forgot to load Inline::C". What shall I do?

update (broquaint): added formatting
