+However, this still does not guarantee that these DLL may be loaded.
The reason is the mangling of the name of the I<Perl DLL>. And since
the extension DLLs link with the Perl DLL, extension DLLs for older
versions would load an older Perl DLL, and would most probably
loaded an extension compiled for the old executable (ouph!). In this
case the old executable will get a forwarder DLL instead of the old
perl DLL, so would link with the new perl DLL. While not directly
