My problem is that, for reasons I don't yet understand, my Inline::C does not generate *.xs files.

% rm -rf _Inline
% cat hello.pl
use Inline C => 'void hello(){printf("Hello, world\n\n");}';

hello;
__END__

% perl hello.pl
Hello, world

% tree .
.
|-- _Inline
|   |-- build
|   |-- config
|   `-- lib
|       `-- auto
|           `-- hello_pl_45c9
|               |-- hello_pl_45c9.bs
|               |-- hello_pl_45c9.inl
|               `-- hello_pl_45c9.so
`-- hello.pl

As you can see, no *.xs file is created. What is missing from the code?
