I have developed a Perl program that implements an Inline::C module on Windows XP using Active State Perl 5.8.8 and Visual C++ .NET 2003. I would like to give my program to users who do not have a C compiler. I was hoping I could copy over the _Inline directory tree containing my Inline::C dynamic link library (DLL) to other computers without triggering the need to recompile. I tried locking the file dates, but that didn't work out. I also tried changing the date in the
_Inline/lib/auto/<module_name>/<module_name>.inl file, but that didn't work either. I'm guessing that the 32 character encrypted md5 field in the above file is the key, but I don't know how to generate one that will suppress recompilation. Can anyone help? Thanks very much.
