INTRODUCTION:

Inline::CPP -- Write Perl subroutines and classes in C++.

Inline::CPP lets you write Perl subroutines and classes in C++. You
don't have to learn XS or SWIG, you can just put code right "inline"
in your source.

Example:

   use Inline CPP => <<'END';

   class JAxH {
     public:
       JAxH(char *x);

       SV* data();
     private:
       SV *dat;
   };

   JAxH::JAxH(char *x) { dat = newSVpvf("Just Another %s Hacker", x); }
   SV* JAxH::data() { return dat; }

   END

   print JAxH->new('Inline')->data(), "\n";

When run, this complete program prints:

   Just Another Inline Hacker.

FEATURES:

Inline::CPP version 0.33_005 is a dev. release.  It adds a test to provide
more thorough diagnostics for the "Can't find Parse::RecDescent" issue.
It's being pushed to CPAN to generate fresh smoke tests.

The most recent stable release is 0.33.  Releases ending in _xxx are
experimental/developmental.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION:

This module requires Inline::C.pm version 0.49 or higher to be installed.
It also uses Parse::RecDescent.

To install Inline::CPP 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.
You will be prompted for what C++ compiler and library to use.  Accepting
the default should work in nearly every case (and if it doesn't, let me know).
