Glad it worked. The suggestion to try a command line compile was simply to make sure you had a working setup - you do so all is well. You will find an extensive C tutorial here

As anonymous monk asks above, how did you actually install Inline::C? As a binary package? Anyway now you have C working the usual methods described in A Guide to Installing Modules should work for just about everything.

As you note your C compiler will often spew a scary long list of errors. It pays to concentrate on fixing just the first error (or chunk or errors) as once the compiler chokes most of the rest of the output is more or less meaningless. As soon as you fix the initial problem things will either work or you will have a whole new long list of errors!
