Hi Tom,

Thanks for you help.

I have not got a great deal of experience with C.

Could you be so kind to tell me how I directly link the DynaLoader into
plperl.so.

Once I got the DynaLoader in place my task is complete.

You might wonder what I am doing. I am implementing a function in Postures
that will act as a stored procedure over ODBC. I need to connect to many
databases from the stored procedure and I also need to connect to my own
perl .pm modules.

Regards,
Ragnar

IIRC, DynaLoader is a static library not dynamic, so you might have to
link it directly into plperl.so.  Not sure about that.  I recall that
Mark Hollomon and I had some troubles getting plperl to build portably
when it itself depended on DynaLoader, so he rewrote it to avoid needing
DynaLoader ...
