Hi,

My perl-5.12.0 installation has DynaLoader-1.10.
My perl-5.14.0 installation has DynaLoader-1.13

If I replace my 5.14.0 DynaLoader.pm with the 5.12.0 DynaLoader.pm, then (using perl-5.14.0) any attempt to load DynaLoader.pm results in the error: 
DynaLoader object version 1.13 does not match $DynaLoader::VERSION 1.1
+0 at C:/perl514_M/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 91.
Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.

Fair enough - that's the error you'd expect if a "DynaLoader object" exists, and its version is checked against $DynaLoader::VERSION.
The thing that's now got me puzzled is what's the name of this DynaLoader object, and where is it located ?

Is it built into the perl514.dll ?
If so, then I guess that makes it a bit more difficult to downgrade DynaLoader - one would have to rebuild perl.

(I'm faced with a strange load error with PDL::Graphics::PLplot and pthreads - one that doesn't occur with perl-5.12 and earlier. I was curious to see whether the later version of DynaLoader might have a hand in it ... but if that can't easily be tested, it's probably not worth doing.)

Cheers,
Rob
