Hi list,

some time ago Sysiphus wrote Inline::C2XS which exports a subroutine that can convert Inline::C code to XS.

Now I wrote some more code to enable module authors to write and test modules using Inline::C and then ship the module/distribution to CPAN as an ordinary XS module - without modifying the .pm file at all.

This requires quite a bit of magic behind the scenes and would require quite a bit of explanation in detail. I have named the module 'Inline::XS'. You can find the first version at http://steffen-mueller.net/tmp/Inline-XS-0.01.tar.gz and a discussion of the concept at http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=584125

Right now, the module works for simple uses only. (No AUTOWRAP and stuff.) The code is experimental.

I'm writing to get a blessing for uploading the distribution to CPAN since I'm using a namespace under Inline::.

Cheers,
Steffen
