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";
  $o->set_x("Inline");
  print JAxH($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
