Perfect. ...Now for a free hour to apply and test a patch... I'll follow-up to your latest reply in this subthread once I get a chance to put a new version of Inline::CPP (v0.34 probably) on CPAN. Probably by tomorrow PST.

I've got three other "FAIL"'s that I'm trying to work out in that module as well. One seems to be a linker issue, as the smoke tester's error message has mangled function names (name mangling is typical of C++) which show in the error message (undesirable, and atypical for C++. lol).
