Hello monks, I would like to extend my perl module with some functions from C. I started with basic Hello World example and failed ;/

test.c

#include <stdio.h>
void hello()
{
    printf("Hello world!\n");
}

[download]
I compiled test.c to test.so and add to dir.

test.pm

package Example;
use 5.006;
use strict;
use base qw/Exporter DynaLoader/;
our $VERSION = '0.01';
our @EXPORT_OK = qw/ hello /;
bootstrap Test $VERSION;
1;

[download]

in Test.pl I call C function with:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Example;

print Example::hello;

[download]
Unfortunatelly it doesn't work, returning error "Can't find 'boot_test' symbol in ./test.so at test.pl line 4" Probably I use dynaloader in bad way, but have no idea how to make it works ;/ Yes, I know ther is an option with XS language but I would like to avoid it and just writte .c, code then compile it to .so and use from perl. I had heard that it must works. Thanks for reasonable advices ;)
