This statement is configuration only. It won't compile anything. You need to
change 'Config' to 'DATA'.

OK. So where is the Perl? It seems like you are telling Perl to interpret C
code. Even Inline isn't that good. ;)

And this is your Perl code? It seems you're a little mixed up on how Inline
works. Here is the basic template:
use warnings;
use strict;
use Inline C => DATA,
LIBS => '-L... -l...';
# Perl code goes here
__END__
__C__
/* C code goes here */
Hope this helps.
