Hi Brian,
Inline-0.34 couldn't make test on perl 5.6.0 on Mac OS X, because for
some
reason mkdir() refuses to work if the pathname ends with a slash. Hence:
diff -ruN Inline-0.34.old/Inline.pm Inline-0.34/Inline.pm
--- Inline-0.34.old/Inline.pm Tue May 1 09:07:01 2001
+++ Inline-0.34/Inline.pm Fri May 18 10:55:16 2001

my $dir = shift;
my $mode = shift || 0777;
($dir) = ($dir =~ /(.*)/) if UNTAINT;
+ chop $dir if substr($dir, -1) eq '/';
return mkdir($dir, $mode);
}
Now it does 'make test' ok. By the way, the following install ok:
* Inline::Struct
* Inline::ASM (but then there are are no tests)
* Inline::Java
* Inline::Filters
Inline::CPP had a 'make test' problem, which unfortunately I don't have
time to investigate now.
Inline::CPR also had the trailing slash problem, and here's the patch:

Please note that I've only tested the patched versions on Mac OS X, but
due to the minor nature of them they ought to work on other platforms as
well. Still, you never know.
I didn't try to install Inline::Tcl or Inline::Python.
I'm really looking forward to using the Inline modules on OSX now...
In particular, it'd be good to use the Java 2D graphics classes from
within Perl. I'll report back on success (or failure) when there are
some results.

short to contain. (20 Aug 2001: Pierre de Fermat's 400th birthday)
