INTRODUCTION

Inline::Struct -- Manipulate C structs directly from Perl.

Inline::Struct lets you bind C structs to Perl. No special work required, you just tell Inline that you want to bind to structs as well as functions.

Example

use Inline C;

my $o = new Inline::Struct::JA_H("Perl"); print JAxH($o), "\n";
$o->x("Inline");
print JAxH($o), "\n";

__END__
C
struct JA_H {

char *x;
};
typedef struct JA_H JA_H;

SV *JAxH(JA_H *f) {

return newSVpvf("Just Another %s Hacker", f->x); }

When run, this complete program prints:

Just Another Perl Hacker
Just Another Inline Hacker

Inline::Struct 0.06 is still an alpha release. It includes:

+ Preliminary support for C structs.
+ Supported in Inline::C and Inline::CPP.

This module requires Inline version 0.42 or higher to be installed.

To install Inline::Struct do this:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

(On ActivePerl for MSWin32, use nmake instead of make.)

You have to 'make install' before you can run it successfully.
