I was thinking more along the lines of you could steal the initialisation code from it to add to your XS wrapper of the C library you are trying to access.

However, you should also be able to compile it with CPAN or manually without difficulty.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?

    I probably can compile it, I probably could fix it if I had to. It would be perfect except for the ActiveState unavailability, so if I list it as a pre-req, my module won't build on ActiveState's system. I see the author of Math::Int64 has made 4 devel version releases since the last stable release. ActiveState's packager doesn't build or see devel releases though. To embed it without using its C api (not create a pre-req), the entire thing would have to be copy pasted because of its operator overloading.

      Have you considering asking Math::Int64 author to solve those issues?

        Are you the author?
