You don't actually *write* a patch. You just copy the original file, fix
the copy, test it, and run the above diff command. A patch is just the
output of diff. It's more simple than simple.
cp Inline.pm Inline.pm.orig
vim Inline.pm # make changes
make test # or whatever testing needs to be done
diff -u Inline.pm.orig Inline.pm > patch # creates file called 'patch'
# Mail patch to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This will fix the problem on MSWin32. Not on MacOS. VMS? Amiga? Plan9?
BeOS? Don't know.
I'm tempted to just apply the Windowsy patch for now. I can fix it better
later. At least we wouldn't *lose* compatability.

Please do. I'm not sure I understand the exact problem you are having. Please
try to recreate it with Math::Simple, if possible.
