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 NO LONGER installs the submodule Inline::C -- that must
|
|
be installed separately.
