+The Inline module allows you to put source code from other
+programming languages directly "inline" in a Perl script
+or module. The code is automatically compiled as needed,
+and then loaded for immediate access from Perl.
+
+Inline saves you from the hassle of having to write and
+compile your own glue code using facilities like XS or SWIG.
+Simply type the code where you want it and run your Perl as
+normal. All the hairy details are handled for you. The
+compilation and installation of your code chunks all happen
+transparently; all you will notice is the delay of
+compilation on the first run.
+
+The Inline code only gets compiled the first time you run
+it (or whenever it is modified) so you only take the
+performance hit once. Code that is Inlined into distributed
+modules (like on the CPAN) will get compiled when the module
+is installed, so the end user will never notice the compilation
+time.
+
+Best of all, it works the same on both Unix and Microsoft
+Windows.
+
+NOTE: This also installs the submodule Inline::C.
