Hi Rob,
Sorry for my late reply and many thanks for providing me with some insight into
the ILSM mechanism.
I was able to run the tests successfully but only through the following
procedure, which you suggested.
1. Edit BC.pm by adding the declaration:
our $RE_balanced_brackets, $RE_balanced_parens;
followed by the lines,
$RE_balanced_brackets = ...
$RE_balanced_parens = ...
2. Install Inline::BC with "make install".
3. Delete the config file
"/usr/SeaWhale/usr/linux-glibc-2.2.5/src/Inline-BC-0.06/_Inline/config".
Running "make test" after these steps worked fine and all tests were passed.
I will log both problems as bug reports on rt.cpan.org as you suggested. I
would also like to find the solution to the "make test" problem as tests should
really be run first before installation. This may take a little while however,
as I need to get a better understanding of the internals of Inline.
Many thanks for your help.
Cheers, Ron.
