Rob, But if you load your MyPackage.pm module in a test.pl file containing:

use MyPackage ;

then it fails with:

Can't locate object method "new" via package "FOO::Soldier" at MyPackage.pm line 7.
Compilation failed in require at test2.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test2.pl line 3.
One or more DATA sections were not processed by Inline.

I think this has to do with the eval'd INIT block in Inline.pm around line 200. I think it runs at "run" time, while all the "use" stuff runs at compile time. So it's basically not run yet. If you call:

Inline->init() ;

just before creating the FOO::Solfier objects it will fix the problem. Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Yes, I now recall this Inline->init(); trick having cropped up before - though I can't quite recall the context.

I had the impression from earlier postings in this thread that, wrt Inline::Java, it wasn't necessary to load a MyPackage.pm to strike the problem. Instead it was enough to merely load the Inline::Java module into another namespace (as per my Inline::C demo).
Perhaps that's not so - I don't currently have Inline::Java installed and therefore can't check that for myself.

Anyway, if Inline::C and Inline::Java aren't in exactly the same boat here, it looks like they're at least part of the same fleet ;-)

Hopefully Inline->init(); will solve the OP's problems.
Thanks for chiming in, Patrick !

Cheers,
Rob
