[OTR-users] OTR Perl Module

Hello,

I am writing a Perl module for OTR, and I've run into an unfortunate
error:  both Perl 5 and OTR declare structs called "context", and this
results in an obvious redefinition error when compiling.  I am writing
the module using Inline / XS, and including perl's EXTERN.h, perl.h,
XSUB.h, and INLINE.h, along with libotr/proto.h, etc.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to get around this, though I
would also purpose changing the struct name to "otr_context" or such
in future releases of the OTR library.

Thanks,

Patrick
