The consequence of defining a variable as 'my' means that it is a local variable that is not in the Perl symbol table. I don't know if this has consequences for accessing the variable from C. > > use Inline C => <<EOF; > > In my inline scripts I always write the above line as: > use Inline C => <<'EOF'; If you surround the HERE-DOC qualifier with double quotes all Perl variables inside the test will be interpolated. If you use double quotes, variables will *not* be interpolated. If you don't use quotes, Perl defaults to double quote behavior. > Depending on your OS (I think) it may be necessary to leave a blank > line between the closing } and the EOF.

You do have to be careful that you don't put in any extra whitespace after the EOF, because then Perl will see it as 'EOF ' and not 'EOF', which are not the same. Cheers, jas.
