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 0.20 is a major upgrade from previous versions. It 
includes:

+ C++ grammar greatly improved:
  + Inline functions
  + Inheritance
  + Default parameters: void foo(int a=10, char *b="Hello", double a=pi());
  + Unnamed parameters: void foo(int, char*, double);
  + Support for public, private, and protected scopes
  + Structs and classes are both bound to Perl
  + Support for functions with no fixed arguments: void foo(...);
+ Broken LIBS configuration option fixed.
+ PREFIX option added.
+ Optional Inline::Struct support added.
+ Works on Cygwin (tested version 1.3.1)

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

This module requires Inline::C.pm version 0.33 or higher to be installed.

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.
