load binary at runtime

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello

Is it possible in Perl to load at runtime a binary file? In particular, I am using on a macOS the module 'Net::SSLeay' which calls 'libssl.3.dylib' as seen at installation time. I want to be able to use any other version of 'libssl.3.dylib' in other non-standard positions on my machine, passing its location at runtime.

Under macOS, the magic environment variable is `DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES`. You point it to the library you want preloaded and it should load that library instead of `libssl.3.dylib`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
