Having observed the rapid progress of the Inline revolution and being an
ardent user of Inline::C I agree with your decision to continue the
evolution without being limited to release levels. Many shops wind up
with many different levels of Perl due to production considerations and
time constraints. Migrating is not easy in these environments -
installing a package is.
I hope that Inline::Struct can be integrated quickly as this would
reduce the amount of C code necessary to integrate some system
functions. In my case it would have eliminated 5 interfaces and 600
lines of code that could have been better handled directly in Perl. Our
production environment is controlled from an enormous shared memory
structure that is updated every 6 seconds.
Stay the course.
