Peeking in the source, it turns out there's a C variable that holds the count. (Not very surprising...). Here's an Inline::C program giving you access to it:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Inline 'C'; eval 'print "Hello, world\n"'; printf "Sequence number: %d\n", gimmi (); eval 'print "Hello, earthlings\n"'; printf "Sequence number: %d\n", gimmi (); __END__ __C__ int gimmi () { return (PL_evalseq); }

That that if you run this the first time, you'll get high numbers, but that's because Inline and/or Inline::C will do some evalling as well. After that, the count starts at 2, probably also because of some evalling inside Inline and/or Inline::C.
