[Wilfredo Sánchez]

The versioned structure was not. That's why I didn't use it. Instead, I relied on dyld's ability to keep track of compatibility version in the dylib.

It's important to note that the directory structure was *not* meant to deal with this sort of problem. What it was meant for was to provide the ability to have multiple versions of perl installed simultaneously as a means of preventing breakage. Once you linked against, say, 5.6.0, you just kept 5.6.0 around, rather than trusting that 5.6.1 (or 5.8.0) behaved the same as the version you were replacing.
