Hi,
it sounds like Inline isn't binding the functions correctly to perl.
If you run Inline in INFO mode it will tell you which functions get bound.
You can do this with "perl -MInline=INFO script.pl" or "perl -MInline=INFO
Module.pm"
You should see something like :
The following Inline C function(s) have been successfully bound to Perl:
SV * cdbt_getpi_description(int price_index)
int cdbt_prices_init()
If the functions you want aren't listed here the problem is probably
related to the type of the parameters or return value. For example Inline
only likes void as a return value so if I had declared my function
int cdbt_prices_init(void) then Inline wouldn't have bound it.
I hope this is some help
Peter
