There is no "" empty space after the END

In the code snippet you posted here, there is...  (and this does produce the exact error you're getting).

When I download your code, there actually is a trailing space character after the END word. Maybe your text editor is stripping the newline character on the last line or something like that, so consider adding a comment or some other text to the end. The following compiles OK for me (I don't have Inline::C installed, so I won't comment on the actual code):

#!perl
    use Inline CPP => <<'END';     use warnings;
     int doodle() { } 
 class Foo {
    public:      
    Foo(); 
      ~Foo();             
        int get_data() { return data; }
          void set_data(int a) { data = a; } 
 private:
     int data; 
  };  
 Foo::Foo() { cout << "creating a Foo()" << endl; } 
 Foo::~Foo() { cout << "deleting a Foo()" << endl; }   
END

# This is a comment placed here in stead of more code

I had to remove the trailing blank after the END, of course.

I ran the program again and the compiler says it does not understad CPP

C:\Documents and Settings\rohn\Desktop\PERL PRG>perl inline1.pl

Error. You have specified 'CPP' as an Inline programming language.

I currently only know about the following languages: C, Foo, foo

If you have installed a support module for this language, try deleting the config file from the following Inline DIRECTORY, and run again:

C:/Documents and Settings/rohn/Desktop/PERL PRG/_Inline

at inline1.pl line 2 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at inline1.pl line 15.

Does this mean that Strawberry perl does not understand C++ compiler ?

I currently only know about the following languages: C, Foo, foo

you should install the required language then by running

 cpan install Inline:CPP

in a dos box, (iirc)

If you have installed a support module for this language, try deleting the config file from the following Inline DIRECTORY....

If you do as that instruction says, it usually takes care of the error (assuming Inline::CPP is installed - which you can check by running perl -e "require Inline::CPP;print $Inline::CPP::VERSION")
