The main CPAN Inline::C page lists ... as dependencies

There's a module missing from that list. Win32::Mutex, which is part of the Win32::IPC distro, is also a dependency (on Windows only, of course).
This bug in Inline::C is not normally an issue on Strawberry Perl because that dependency usually gets picked up anyway.
But you can't be certain if/when/how it will manifest itself and, if it bites, then you just have to cpanm -i Win32::IPC.

Cheers,
Rob

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
