Well done, Steffen for the sterling work you are doing with this, and the recent developments with PAR.

Although I have a C background, I've been too scared to date, to get my hands dirty with coding XS, and at least one of my CPAN modules would benefit from some C routines. I've also been scared of Inline::C and the voodoo involved in getting it working with CPAN and package managers, so I welcome your insights.

I'm wondering if it's a design defect of Inline::C that it needs to runtime compile the code. This is making a big assumption, that your target machine has a working C compiler. I'm very interested in your workaround, especially one that will work with CPAN and package managers.

Please also consider all the package managers that are out there: e.g. from the Linux world - dpkg, rpm and evolve (and others).
