Thanks everybody for the thoughts. This should be enough for me to put
together a decent outline for the book. I'll let you know how it proceeds.
Mitchell asked me privately to describe what I'm doing with Inline in the
core. Basically I'm just starting by trying to get it integrated with the
build system so that it can be used to build other core extension modules. So
far so good. I have:
- A 40 line mini-Inline.pm that basically just Dynaloads an object
or requires another Inline:: module to do more work. This will
become the new Inline.pm as described in 0.50.
- I did a major refactoring of Inline::MakeMaker. It no longer takes
over the postamble for its own purposes. And it's way smaller than
the current version.
- I'm working on an Inline::Build that builds Inline modules. Once
that is done, I'll turn it over to the p5p for porting to all
platforms.
I'll send more details as I get them.
Cheers, Brian
