in reply to inline in a perl module

The error message is trying to tell you something:

To debug the problem, cd to the build directory, and inspect the output files.

Did you do it? What did you find?

    I think one finds only the same warnings/error messages as have already been printed to the console - but it's certainly worth checking.

    The problem, as moritz indicated, lies with the cpp code - which the op has supplied. If the contents of 'main.h' were also supplied we might be able to run the Inline::CPP code and see for ourselves. I think nirf1 first needs to get the code working as an Inline::CPP script before trying to put it into a module. As I said, we would be better placed to help with that if we could see the contents of 'main.h'.

      You'll also find the generated XS code, which is what the compiler is actually choking on.

        Yes, you're correct.

        I keep (mis)reading that error message as advising one to take a look inside 'out.make' - which I don't think tells you anything that hasn't already been printed to the console. But if one reads the message correctly, it recommends checking the files (plural) - not just out.make.
