Inline::Support - phpMan

NAME
    Inline-Support - Support Information for Inline.pm and related modules.

DESCRIPTION
    This document contains all of the latest support information for
    "Inline.pm" and the recognized Inline Language Support Modules (ILSMs)
    available on CPAN.

SUPPORTED LANGUAGES
    The most important language that Inline supports is "C". That is because
    Perl itself is written in "C". By giving a your Perl scripts access to
    "C", you in effect give them access to the entire glorious internals of
    Perl. (Caveat scriptor :-)

    As of this writing, Inline also supports:

    *   C++

    *   Java

    *   Python

    *   Tcl

    *   Assembly

    *   CPR

    *   And even Inline::Foo! :)

    Projects that I would most like to see happen in the year 2001 are:

    *   Fortran

    *   Ruby

    *   Lisp

    *   Guile

    *   Bash

    *   Perl4

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
    "Inline::C" should work anywhere that CPAN extension modules (those that
    use XS) can be installed, using the typical install format of:

        perl Makefile.PL
        make
        make test
        make install

    It has been tested on many Unix and Windows variants.

    NOTE: "Inline::C" requires Perl 5.005 or higher because
    "Parse::RecDescent" requires it. (Something to do with the "qr"
    operator)

    Inline has been successfully tested at one time or another on the
    following platforms:

    *   Linux

    *   Solaris

    *   SunOS

    *   HPUX

    *   AIX

    *   FreeBSD

    *   OpenBSD

    *   BeOS

    *   OS X

    *   WinNT

    *   Win2K

    *   WinME

    *   Win98

    *   Cygwin

    The Microsoft tests deserve a little more explanation. I used the
    following:

    *   Windows NT 4.0 (service pack 6)

    *   Perl 5.005_03 (ActiveState build 522)

    *   MS Visual C++ 6.0

    *   The "nmake" make utility (distributed w/ Visual C++)

    "Inline::C" pulls all of its base configuration (including which "make"
    utility to use) from "Config.pm". Since your MSWin32 version of Perl
    probably came from ActiveState (as a binary distribution) the
    "Config.pm" will indicate that "nmake" is the system's "make" utility.
    That is because ActiveState uses Visual C++ to compile Perl.

    To install "Inline.pm" (or any other CPAN module) on MSWin32 w/ Visual
    C++, use these:

        perl Makefile.PL
        nmake
        nmake test
        nmake install

    Inline has also been made to work with Mingw32/gcc on all Windows
    platforms. This is a free compiler for Windows. You must also use a perl
    built with that compiler.

    The "Cygwin" test was done on a Windows 98 machine using the Cygwin
    Unix/Win32 porting layer software from Cygnus. The "perl" binary on this
    machine was also compiled using the Cygwin tool set ("gcc"). This
    software is freely available from <http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/>

    If you get Inline to work on a new platform, please send me email email.
    If it doesn't work, let me know as well and I'll see what can be done.
