But overall perl is ok. It does the job. It provides a good overall basic toolset. I try to avoid modules when possible, especially when not contained in perl core and thus giving up comfort, reimplementing things which are done in a better quality, for reducing Installation efforts needed and keeping Codebase small. (If you use modules, you may end up with other dependent modules).
This is precisely the reason I use, (occasionally now), Python. It is useful enough with its builtin libraries. I try to steer clear of those libraries that could be dependencies for any project, especially for the AMIGA.
I have not ignored this Perl project I will follow on soon with a drawing routine to join up the dots.

inline-support

Inline-Support(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 Inline-Support(3)

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.
