Ingy and David have completed work on [Inline::Module](https://metacpan.org/pod/Inline::Module), or "How to be an XS author without knowing XS". According to the [original proposal](http://news.perlfoundation.org/2014/09/grant-proposal-inlinecpp-modul.html), the proposed deliverables were:
- Allow compilation of inlined C code to happen during a module's build time, and then allow Inline to get out of the way to a greater degree than currently happens.
- Make ```use Inline``` not trigger a C compile or a C source check when running installed.
- Provide support integration for:
-- Dist::Zilla
-- Module::Install
-- ExtUtils::MakeMaker
-- Module::Build
- Make sure that the right things happen at test and build time (vs runtime).
- Test that all works properly with C++.
- Provide support for C modules where the C code is not 'inlined'
-- Like YAML::XS
- Release a few current XS modules using Inline.
-- YAML::XS
-- String::Slice
From the [frequent reports](http://inline.ouistreet.com), it appears that most of these have been met. Visit [the tutorial](https://metacpan.org/pod/Inline::Module::Tutorial) for an overview.
The Grants Committee hereby requests your comments on Ingy and David's work before it votes.
