Have you tried enabling trace?

I just tried the -d:Trace and that did give me the line number in P::RD where the eval is called. It was indeed line 7974 (which comes from Inline/CPP/grammar.pm) of that string that was causing the problem:

$return .= join '',' ',@{$item{$Inline::CPP::grammar::star}} if @{$ite
+m{$Inline::CPP::grammar::star}};

So I made the excution of that line of code conditional upon $item{$Inline::CPP::grammar::star} being defined, and the problem went away.

Unfortunately, that's not the whole solution, as the grammar is still broken. From the first inline::CPP test script (during 'make test') I now get:

_01basic_t_5cd2.c: In function `void XS_main__Soldier_new(PerlInterpre
+ter*, CV*)
':
_01basic_t_5cd2.c:79: error: no matching function for call to `Soldier
+::Soldier(
)'
_01basic_t_5cd2.xs:16: note: candidates are: Soldier::Soldier(const So
+ldier&)
_01basic_t_5cd2.xs:30: note:                 Soldier::Soldier(char*, c
+har*, int)

dmake:  Error code 129, while making '_01basic_t_5cd2.o'

Given that Inline::CPP is no longer maintained, I see little point in digging further ... though, of course, pointlessness does not necessarily deter me :-)

I'm just glad that Inline::C hasn't similarly been destroyed by the latest versions of P::RD.

Cheers,
