I think it is strange that any distribution of software would have object files in it. It should consist only only of archives *.a, shared objects *.so, and additionally in the case of Perl *.pm, *.pl, *.al, ... . The fact that you're dist has any *.o in it, suggests to me that it was built, but not 'installed' correctly.

Since I built and ran 'make install' I don't have any *.o files. More relevantly, the only DynaLoader-related files I have are:

native]$ ls /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i686-linux/auto/DynaLoader/
autosplit.ix  dl_expandspec.al  dl_findfile.al  dl_find_symbol_anywher
+e.al

native]$ /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i686-linux/DynaLoader.pm
[download]

Thanks for the response, but I'm afraid it doesn't help.
