Pardon my naivete, but besides the fact that using Inline gives you a
module dependency is there *any* reason not to use Inline for a CPAN module
at this point? Especially given that the only Perl installations without
an associated compiler are probably going to be Windows and Brian has
provision for binary-only distributions? Does the XS route give me any
flexibility over Inline automation that I would really need?
Don't glare at me like that, Brian. I don't really *mean* to question the
canon.
