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 => 'DATA', structs => ['JA_H'];

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