Thank you for the lead, we will check import() and install(). I did check
that the compiled object file was created and is moved to a subdirectory
under /usr/lib/perl5/.... as I would expect. I shall lookup your patch
suggestion later this weekend, or at latest Monday morning, maybe the
installer just can't find the binary.
We did get the compile to work by changing the values assigned to the
flags such as CC from gcc to g++ and adjusting our C file to be a .cpp
file. We also adjusted the configs for MakeMaker so that it would use the
g++ compiler when it autogenerated the Makefile.
