Alan,
Because the '$VERSION = '0.20' is happening at runtime, but the 'use
Inline...' is happening at compile time. So $VERSION isn't set yet when
you pass it to Inline.
You can probably do:
use vars qw($VERSION); # Or our($VERSION)
BEGIN { $VERSION = '0.01' }
use Inline (
C => 'DATA',
VERSION => $VERSION,
NAME => 'Elf',
);
