I don't think you want to go there. attributes.pm is almost broken. Damian
had to do clever things to make it work. Better to use A::H than rewrite it,
and forego the patches and improvements which Arthur Bergman continues to
make to it.
On the other hand, why not use filters?
package MyFilter;
use Filter::Simple;
FILTER_ONLY code => sub {
s/:inline[^\(]*\((.*?)\)\s*(\r\n|\n)(.*?)\2\1\2
/{$2print <<'EOF';$2$3$2EOF$2}$2/gsx;
};
1;
__END__
The above filter will change this:
package main;
use MyFilter;
sub hello :inline(C)
void hello() { printf("hello world\n"); }
C
into this:
package main;
use MyFilter;
sub hello {
print <<'EOF';
void hello() { printf("hello world\n"); }
EOF
}
And could surely be adapted...
By the time Inline goes core, both A::H and F::S will be core. Till then, if
they can install Inline, they can install a couple others. I don't
understand the aversion to using good CPAN modules. If it works... use it.
