Sorry, spoke to soon. All shared (glue) libraries (e.g. LibXML.so for XML::LibXML) are also hash-renamed, probably under the "make names unique because they will all be extracted into a single directory" rule. The relation between the line "bootstrap Foo::Bar;" in Foo:Bar.pm and actually extracting and loading Foo/Bar.so as a15cddf.so seems to be hat PAR intercepts calls to DynaLoader::dl_expandspec - gross! Do the Gtk2 modules use some non-standard procedure to dynamically load their shared glue libraries that foils PAR's intercept? Cheers, Roderich
