Hello fellow PerlMonks!

I have a question about using Inline.pm. I recently got everything installed and running on my Windows XP system. For background, I'm using the most up to date version of ActiveState's Perl, and the most recent version of Inline. Inline is working with my Visual Studio .NET 2002 compiler, cl.exe.

So, here's what I want to do... I want to take some Linux written C code, and inline it into my perl script, however, I do not seem to have the proper header functions to do so. For example, I do not seem to have a socket.h, config.h, and others. Is there anything I can do about this, or am I just kind of screwed?

Edit by tye, add P tags
