For any arbitrary module, doing
use Foo::Bar @list;
is the same as doing
BEGIN {
require Foo::Bar;
Foo::Bar->import(@list);
}
, so the standard "use Inline 'C';" is equivalent to
BEGIN {
require Inline;
Inline->import('C');
}
. In your case, you just put a little code in between the require() and the
import().
