Good point.

Since the "use XSLoader ();" statement isn't dieing, I suspect XSLoader is already loaded (it is also a core module).

Oh! I just had an idea. One simple explanation would be if @INC included "/usr/lib64­/perl5/ven­dor_perl/5­.8.8/x86_6­4-linux-th­read-multi­/APR" before the path where the XSLoader module is. Then "use XSLoader ();" would load the XSLoader.pm from the APR::XSLoader module.

Note that @INC should not contain "/usr/lib64­/perl5/ven­dor_perl/5­.8.8/x86_6­4-linux-th­read-multi­/APR" at all.

So the next step I'd recomment is reporting the value of $INC{"XSLoader.pm"}.

Folks, Oh, XSLoader and APR::XSLoader are different. That explains a lot. I did a cpan install of XSLoader, and evidently I didn’t have that since it installed right? But it is still getting the same undefined XSLoader::load error.
You can’t do a print of $INC{"XSLoader.pm"} since it doesn’t compile right? But I did a use glip::wad; in startup.pl to cause the below error dump of @INC:
But there is no APR anywhere in there right? It must be getting it some where since, as you said, the use XSLoader is not dieing right, even before I installed it?
So this $INC{"XSLoader.pm"} doesn’t really work right? Since INC is an array? How do you find out what value it is finding and using?
Thanks

perlvar covers both @INC and %INC. Did you even try? Or did you just assume it wouldn't compile?

"/usr/lib64­/perl5/ven­dor_perl/5­.8.8/x86_6­4-linux-th­read-multi­/Apache2" looks suspicious to me. And, indeed, there is an Apache2::XSLoader module.
