tachyon-II:

Thanks! Installing the headers worked like a champ! Kilobytes of error messages have been reduced to a single digit: 8.

"Before you go messing with Inline::C I suggest you make sure you can compile a basic C program off the command line. Can you compile hello world?"

Well, no. But I'm not interested in doing anything particularly complicated — just speeding up some Perl bit-twiddling subroutines. As you suspect, this C stuff is pretty much rote imitation for me at this point. But, with this obstacle removed, I'm confident I can slog through it.

Thanks again for your help!
