in reply to Inline::C compile failure. (Fixed but not really solved!)

Have you tried re-installing Inline::C through cpan or cpanm? If that goes wrong at the very least you will get some more error messages to work with.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
