Ok I got Inline working.
As Rob suggested I tried to overwrite my Active Perl install because it's
configuration was odd, and this fixed some of the problems but now when I
ask about Perl C compiler it gives me the full path
E:/xampp/perl/site/bin/gcc.exe instead of just 'gcc'
and surprisingly when I open Config_heavy.pl file I can't find that
anywhere, my Config_heavy says cc:'gcc' so why Perl gives compiler with full
path?? I guess Perl is using another file for detecting configurations, I
really couldn't find where is that so I had to make some of my usual hacks
:P here is what I did maybe this can help someone, but in all this is not a
recommended method to get Inline working unless you're really really know
what you're doing and you used every method suggested by the Inline list who
really know what they are doing unlike me :))
Here is what I did
After installing ActivePerl Mingw package
ppm install Mingw
I downloaded strawberry zipped package (Not installer) then unpacked it,
make sure to download the same version of your Active Perl version, in my
situation it's Perl 5.10
I copied c folder from strawberry and placed it in the same folder where my
Perl folder resides
I copied strawberry/perl/lib/Core folder and placed it in my ActivePerl/lib
folder, this will ask you to replace the current CORE folder just accept to
replace all
Then I opened strawberry/perl/lib/Config_heavy.pl file replaced all
C:/strawberry/Perl with my ActivePerl location, in my case it's
E:/xampp/Perl then saved Config_heavy and placed it in E:/xampp/Perl/lib,
this will ask you to overwrite the current Config_heavy.pl accept that and
you're done
Please remember to back up your Perl folder before doing this so if any odd
behavior you can delete and place the backup again and try something else, I
always do that
Now after trying my Perl with Inline it works just fine plus every other
Module and script I wrote previously, so everything seems ok
Thank you guys for being a lot of help, I'll go now and play with the great
Inline module
Perl : awesome
C: rules
:))
