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. |
