Hi Brian,
Thanks for the info on 'permanent' installs. My (admittedly unusual)
module still makes the install stuff unhappy. 'make' chokes with the
following:
[khk: XML]# make
...(SNIP)...
/usr/bin/perl -Mblib -MInline=_INSTALL_ -MXML::Comma -e1 0.20

The problem is that doing -MXML::Comma triggers my BEGIN-block stuff,
parts of which are trying to load and use Inline code to parse config
files and the like. So it looks like a chicken-and-egg situation.
My use command is the following:
eval 'use Inline C => $code
=> NAME => "XML::Comma::Parsing::SimpleC"
=> VERSION => "0.20"';
Is there a way to craft a 'use' that is happy in both 'permanent'
install and ad-hoc run contexts? When I try to just run code that uses
this module (without the permanent install having been done), I get
the "you need to remove the version" error:
To allow Inline to compile the module in a temporary cache, simply
remove the Inline config option 'VERSION=' from the
XML::Comma::Parsing::SimpleC module. at (eval 2) line 1
Thanks,
Kwin
