As soon as I read this I said, "I'll bet he's on AIX". Sure enough.
AIX seems to have some broken behaviour in regards to its Config.pm. It
sets so=a which Inline is not prepared to handle. I asked around and
people seem to think this is an AIX/Perl bug. Regardless, I'll need to
put a fix in. Could you please send me the following:
1) Your Config.pm module
2) A tarball of your entire _Inline/ directory after running:
perl -MInline=info,force,noclean -le 'use Inline
C=>q{SV*JAxH(char*x){return newSVpvf("Just Another %s
Hacker",x);}};print JAxH+Perl'
I should have a fix this week.
In the meantime, could you try temporarily changing your Config.pm to
say "so='so'" instead of "so='a'", and let me know if Inline behaves
correctly.
Thanks, Brian
