Thanks. Why on earth is it unhappy? On Linux I see this
./perl -Ilib -MDynaLoader -lwe 'eval {DynaLoader::dl_load_file()}; print "The
error was $@"'
The error was Usage: DynaLoader::dl_load_file(filename, flags=0) at -e line 1.
What is causing DynaLoader::dl_load_file() to have a prototype, all of a
sudden? The line "MODULE = DynaLoader PACKAGE = DynaLoader" in
win32/dl_win32.xs dates from 1997.
[Also, why is dl_win32.xs there, rather than in ext/DynaLoader?]
