Om mani padme hum

I am newish to Perl and quite new to inline C. I have installed the Inline::C module into my ActiveState Perl 5.8 with XP and it seems to have installed fine. I also have visual studio and can compile in C. When I write: 


use Inline C;
helloWorld ();
__END__
__C__
void helloWorld () {
  printf("Hello World\n");
}

I get: 


Can't open C:\Documents\config for output.
No such file or directory

 at -e line 0
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
Failed to autogenerate C:\Documents and Settings\Angel\Desktop\inline\
+_Inline\config.

 at C:\Documents and Settings\Angel\Desktop\inline\test_inline.pl line
+ 0
INIT failed--call queue aborted, <DATA> line 1.

I get the same message whether I run VB env variables or not and whether I run it from the command line or within Komodo the ActiveState IDE.

I need a hint.

While I am asking questions, here goes another one. Once I get the inline code to work will I be able to make a .exe with the ActiveState PDK which includes the C code??

Thanks,

Angel
