Confusion in DLL loading

As you understand now, Dokan library must be installed first. It provides

• dokan.dll (Dokan user mode library)
• dokan.sys (Dokan File System Driver)
• mounter.exe (Dokan mounter service)

and some files.

See dokan-readme for detailes.

Win32::Dokan's Dokan.DLL is just an interface between dokan.dll (Dokan Library's one) and Perl.

Win32::Dokan's Dokan.DLL will be found by DynaLoader, so you does not need to copy it manually. It will be copied to default place (C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\...) by executing "dmake install". I think this is an usual way for XS module.

Win32::Dokan::_DLL searches Dokan Library's dokan.dll, not a Win32::Dokan's. If Dokan library is installed correctly, It will be found in System Folder.

Test is improved

• Waiting method for test-fs.pl is changed. Hard coded waiting time is removed.
• To unmount test filessystem, unmount.pl is added Dokanctl.exe wil not be called now.

(But this is little danger. If Win32::Dokan does not works correctly, test filesystem will be not unmounted. Any idea?)

Thanks to your advice.
