useopenid has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
What is a "bootstrap parameter"? When I google it, all I see are either specific module conflicts from the all too common "does not match bootstrap parameter" error or a vague "installed version of perl" reference. Perl's got an almost overly specific method of handling versioning - why isn't it finding the right module for the version of perl that's being used? Thanks!

First, take a look at:
DynaLoader.
Second, take a look at the bootstrap() function. If the
Perl-space version number doesn't match the version number in the XS code generated by xsubpp, it'll croak with the error message.
