Hello, I have a project which requires that I run a c-code inside a perl code. Inline module seems to be the perfect solution for me. Though, I have a problem that I haven't been able to solve by myself. Well I said to myself: "Let's start from the simplest case so that I can see if the module really works or not". So I created a pl file named dene.pl (after successfully installing the inline module) and put the following code into it: 
 
#!C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe
 
use Inline C => <<'END_C';
 
void greet() {
  printf("Hello, world!");
}
 
END_C
 
greet();

Now when I type "perl dene.pl", I get an error message which says: "msvcr90.dll could not be found, try to reinstall the app". I checked which c compiler perl is using and it turns out that it's using cl.exe which comes along with Microsoft Visual Studio ++. I have checked if I can successfully compile the c-code itself using cl.exe and the result is: Yes I can. However, no matter what I did, I couldn't get the perl code to run. I really need help here urgently. Thanks in advance. Note: I have the mentioned dll file many places which I think are the right places for the file to be (C:\Windows\winSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_1fc....\; C:\MSVC9\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT\ etc.)
