Thanks for the reply.
The perl and mod_perl versions I'm using are those that came installed on my ibook
(OSX 10.1.5, apache 1.3.26, mod_perl 1.26).
I don't see anything wrong with either Dynaloader or Posix - Of course, I don't really
know what I'm looking for either :-) The modules have not been updated (timestamped
sept 2, 2001) - they were part of the 5.6.0 distribution.
There is nothing in /Users/warren/include that should conflict with either of these -
that's where I install my own modules.
Running "nm DynaLoader.a | grep install" gives
00000824 T _XS_DynaLoader_dl_install_xsub
I'll just have to live with this problem until I get around to upgrading perl and
mod_perl - and see if it persists.
