Inline::C requires you to specify a return type for functions. Although pure
C defaults to a return type of 'int' if you don't specify it, Inline::C won't
bind to such functions.
Note also that because Inline::C doesn't prototype 'Hello', the bareword
'Hello' is interpreted as a string, and prompts the warning "Useless use of a
constant in void context at foo.pl line 2."
This code works fine:
----8<----
use Inline C;
Hello();
__END__
__C__
void Hello() {
printf("Hello World\n");
}
---->8----
Later,
Neil
