I mean that you need to convert your Inline::CPP functions into a normal
perl module.
Inline::CPP has provided you with an XS file that you can use (though you
may have to chage the "PACKAGE" and "MODULE" entries it contains to match
the name of your module).
All you then need is a Makefile.PL, a pm file and a test.pl (if you want).
Then run, as per normal, 'perl Makefile.PL', 'make test' and 'make install'.
You now have a module that does not rely on Inline in any way.
And in your script, you make no mention of Inline - you just have "use
MyModule;" (or whatever it is that you call your module).
Just as pp can handle other modules, it should have no trouble handling
"MyModule".
Other than that, I would need to see a *simple* demo script that
demonstrates the problem you are having. The first approach of sticking the
build directory alongside the PAR-built executable should have worked - I
don't know why it didn't.
Here's what I do:
First, a simple Inline::CPPscript (try.pl):
-------------------------
use warnings;
use Inline CPP => <<'EOC';
void greet() {
printf("Hello Worldn");
}
EOC
greet();
-------------------------
Run 'perl try.pl' - it prints out "Hello World" after compiling.
Then build the par executable (it's necessary to pull FindBin in with the -M
switch, otherwise it doesn't get loaded - for me, anyway):
pp -M FindBin -o try.exe try.pl
Then run the try executable - which prints out "Hello World" - since the
_Inline directory that houses the Inline-built binaries is in the cwd.
Put it all together - here's what happened on my machine:
---------------------------------
D:\pscrpt\inline>perl try.pl
Hello World
D:\pscrpt\inline>pp -M FindBin -o try.exe try.pl
D:\pscrpt\inline>try
Hello World
D:\pscrpt\inline>
--------------------------------
So - if it's not working for you , then we need to see a *simple*
demonstration of the problem.
Cheers,
