<p>Anonmonk, here is how but I can't see how this is related to [mod://Inline::C].</p>
<p>Case2 (pass a scalar - not a ref) is obviously failing. But I don't think that should apply to [mod://Inline::C] because AFAICT a scalar, like a scalarref and any ref, is passed as an <c>SV *</c> which I can affect its PV field within <c>func()</c> and insert an arrayref in there. A good warmup though thanks.</p>
