it shouldn't not be necessary to c&p code from both modules, into a third

It's not (at least in the scenario that I was referring to) ... you have to add some xsubs to "both" modules, but there's no need for a third module.

But XS dlls do not export the addresses of the routines they contain directly

Having never tried to directly access a perl dll's functions before, I hadn't really considered that ... but you're quite right. And that leads me to wonder just how one would, eg, access a perl dll's functionality in an Inline::C or XS situation on Win32. Any takers ? Presumably, GetProcAddress() is useless to us as it returns the address of *exported* functions/variables only. But, equally presumably, it *is* possible to get at the dll's functionality ...

Cheers,
Rob
