Hi,
A couple of comments about the 0.40TRIAL4 installation...
I needed to remove all of my old _Inline/config files, because the
"denter" didn't like them. Brian probably already mentioned this in an
earlier message about upgrading, but I missed it. I had config files
in several places, as an artifact of doing different kinds of installs
as different users <laugh>.
My SITE_INSTALL stopped working. I'm getting the M08 error message
about not having any code in my DATA section, here's the info output:
<-----------------------Information Section----------------------------------->
Information about the processing of your Inline C code:

The error is correct; I don't have any code in a DATA section (I don't
even have a data section.) I use the Inline'ed classes from inside an
eval string inside a BEGIN block, it's (arguably) cleaner to do that
with a heredoc than with a DATA section. Here's a simplified view of
what I'm doing (which worked with 0.33):
package Main_Stuff;
BEGIN {
my $tmp_dir = "/tmp";
my $parser = "foo.pm";
eval "use $parser";
die "can't use parser class: $@" if ( $@ );
}
package foo;
BEGIN {
eval "use Inline Config => DIRECTORY => '$Main_Stuff::tmp_dir'";
die "configuring: $@\n" if ( $@ );
my $code = <<'END';
--code here--
END
eval 'use Inline C => $code';
die "compiling inline: $@\n" if ( $@ );
}
I moved things around to put the code in a DATA secion -- getting rid
of foo's BEGIN block and the code heredoc. That works fine when just
using the module, but the SITE_INSTALL still doesn't work; I get the
error message about needing Inline->init:
----
It appears that you have used the 'DATA' form of Inline.pm but one or more
code sections were not processed. This is because the internal INIT block
could not be invoked automatically. You need to do it manually by placing the
following command after you Inline command(s).
Inline->init;
We apologize for the inconvenience.

When I add the Inline->init call I'm back to a "No source code in DATA
section" error message:
----

Again, everything runs great -- it's just the SITE_INSTALL that I
can't figure out how to make work, in the context of use'ing inside
BEGIN/eval.
Thanks again to Brian for all the great work,
Kwin
