All,

I'm trying to compile Inline::Ruby on win32, using visualc++ v6 and
activestate perl, without too much luck, in trying to get HttpWatch
to work with perl. 

In particular, I'm having difficulty with the headers. When you try to
compile it, the lines in malloc.h and signal.h (win32 headers) turn 
from:

_CRTIMP void (__cdecl * __cdecl signal(int, void (__cdecl *)(int)))(int);

into

__declspec(dllimport) void (__cdecl * __cdecl 
    (*(*Perl_IProc_ptr(((PerlInterpreter *)Perl_get_context())))-> pSignal)
    ((*Perl_IProc_ptr(((PerlInterpreter *)Perl_get_context()))), (int), 
        (void (__cdecl *)(int)))
    )
    (int);


This also happens with malloc, etc in the files:

    \visualc\VC98\Include\SIGNAL.H 
and 

    \visual\VC98\Include\MALLOC.H

with the errors:

C:\visualc\VC98\INCLUDE\signal.h(102) : error C2059: syntax error : '('
C:\visualc\VC98\INCLUDE\malloc.h(106) : error C2059: syntax error : '('
C:\visualc\VC98\INCLUDE\malloc.h(107) : error C2059: syntax error : '('
C:\visualc\VC98\INCLUDE\malloc.h(108) : error C2059: syntax error : '('

Same thing happens with ruby (the win32.h headers)

I am using

     http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167

as a ruby executable (native win32) and 

    http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=104

As I said, the ultimate goal is to be able to use HttpWatch 
(http://www.httpwatch.com) with perl - it pisses me off, it has a 
ruby API but no perl API. 

Given that this is the best tool I've ever used for sniffing http traffic
(even does https unencryption transparently) and that it would allow perl
to very finely control IE (and ultimately firefox) using OLE, I'd love 
to get this to work natively (rather than try to loop it in through 
a separate, ruby script). And not having the time to write a native perl
API for the program myself, I thought I'd borrow ruby's.

. Any ideas on helping compile this would be very helpful.. Also, any 
line on a HttpWatch API for perl would be very welcome.
