Hi gurus,

I reorganize my expression, hope it can make my question more clear.

I know perl put all dll/lib files in auto directory. and use it by Dynaloader. many years, I just use it, create it by h2xs. but don't think too much about its mechanics.

Along with my C knowledge rich up, I am more and more curious :

• how perl call dynamic library in compile stage (use XYZ::XS module;)? I guess it seems like LoadLibrary function in windows
• how perl call dynamic library in run time stage (require XYZ::XS module?)
• I notice a bootstrap statement in pm file, what it does mean? and how does it work?
Please enlighten me~

Thanks!

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
