Ah, phooey. That's technically a private function so isn't exported on platforms that support selective exporting. The options are either to go back to calling perl_destruct(), which would then require careful auditing of what perl_destruct actually does, or do simply not bother destroying objects. I'm going to go for the latter. Time is short and calling END blocks is still a major step forward. (Anyone who needs objects destroyed can probably arrange that themselves via an END block.)
