NAME XSLoader - Dynamically load C libraries into Perl code DESCRIPTION This module defines a standard *simplified* interface to the dynamic linking mechanisms available on many platforms. Its primary purpose is to implement cheap automatic dynamic loading of Perl modules. For a more complicated interface, see DynaLoader. INSTALLATION Install this module using the usual mantra: $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make test $ make install To install the extension in a private directory, you can use the PREFIX option when executing Makefile.PL. This release of XSLoader has been tested by the author on the following Perl and system versions but is likely to run on many more: - Perl 5.4.5 i686-linux (custom build) - Perl 5.5.3 i686-linux (custom build) - Perl 5.6.2 i686-linux (custom build) - Perl 5.8.5 i386-linux-thread-multi (vendor build) - Perl 5.8.8 i686-linux (custom build) - Perl 5.4.5 x86_64-linux (custom build) - Perl 5.6.2 x86_64-linux (custom build) - Perl 5.8.7 x86_64-linux (custom build) - Perl 5.9.4-blead@28397 i686-linux (custom build) - Perl 5.6.0 darwin (vendor build) - Perl 5.8.6 darwin-thread-multi-2level (vendor build) - Perl 5.8.8 i386-freebsd-64int (custom build/dor) - Perl 5.9.5-blead@28998 built for i386-freebsd-64int (custom build) See also the corresponding CPAN Testers page: http://testers.cpan.org/show/XSLoader.html AUTHORS Ilya Zakharevich originally extracted XSLoader from DynaLoader.
