Aargh .... as usual found the answer when I went looking for something else
(in the cookbook) :
perl -MInline=INFO,FORCE,NOCLEAN script.pl

(Worse still - I think Neil told me about this some time ago, on this list
....... shame!!)

Haven't yet worked out how to make that work when I build a module using
inline (with 'perl makefile.pl' and 'nmake'), but it's a start :-)

Cheers,
Rob
