135XSLoader - Dynamically load C libraries into Perl code

139 package YourPackage;

142 XSLoader::load 'YourPackage', @args;
143
144=head1 DESCRIPTION
145
146This module defines a standard I<simplified> interface to the dynamic
147linking mechanisms available on many platforms. Its primary purpose is
148to implement cheap automatic dynamic loading of Perl modules.
149
150For more complicated interface see L<DynaLoader>.
