I faced a similar problem (Perl does have a tendency to crap cpp macros everywhere). My solution was to make an "unperl.h" file that I include at the top of the Inline code. It #undefs everything that conflicts with my headers. This isn't guaranteed to work; your Inline code could use a macro that depends on a Perl macro that you've undef'd. But it's been ok for me.
