+=head1 NAME
+
+XSLoader - Dynamically load C libraries into Perl code
+
+=head1 VERSION
+
+Version 0.10
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ package YourPackage;
+ use XSLoader;
+
+ XSLoader::load 'YourPackage', $YourPackage::VERSION;
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module defines a standard I<simplified> interface to the dynamic
+linking mechanisms available on many platforms. Its primary purpose is
+to implement cheap automatic dynamic loading of Perl modules.
+
+For a more complicated interface, see L<DynaLoader>. Many (most)
+features of C<DynaLoader> are not implemented in C<XSLoader>, like for
+example the C<dl_load_flags>, not honored by C<XSLoader>.
+
+=head2 Migration from C<DynaLoader>
+
+A typical module using L<DynaLoader|DynaLoader> starts like this:
+
+ package YourPackage;
+ require DynaLoader;
+
+ our @ISA = qw( OnePackage OtherPackage DynaLoader );
+ our $VERSION = '0.01';
+ bootstrap YourPackage $VERSION;
+
+Change this to
+
+ package YourPackage;
+ use XSLoader;
+
+ our @ISA = qw( OnePackage OtherPackage );
+ our $VERSION = '0.01';
+ XSLoader::load 'YourPackage', $VERSION;
+
+In other words: replace C<require DynaLoader> by C<use XSLoader>, remove
+C<DynaLoader> from C<@ISA>, change C<bootstrap> by C<XSLoader::load>. Do not
+forget to quote the name of your package on the C<XSLoader::load> line,
+and add comma (C<,>) before the arguments (C<$VERSION> above).
+
+Of course, if C<@ISA> contained only C<DynaLoader>, there is no need to have
+the C<@ISA> assignment at all; moreover, if instead of C<our> one uses the
+more backward-compatible
+
+ use vars qw($VERSION @ISA);
+
+one can remove this reference to C<@ISA> together with the C<@ISA> assignment.
+
+If no C<$VERSION> was specified on the C<bootstrap> line, the last line becomes
+
+ XSLoader::load 'YourPackage';
+
+=head2 Backward compatible boilerplate
+
+If you want to have your cake and eat it too, you need a more complicated
+boilerplate.
+
+ package YourPackage;
+ use vars qw($VERSION @ISA);
+
+ @ISA = qw( OnePackage OtherPackage );
+ $VERSION = '0.01';
+ eval {
+ require XSLoader;
+ XSLoader::load('YourPackage', $VERSION);
+ 1;
+ } or do {
+ require DynaLoader;
+ push @ISA, 'DynaLoader';
+ bootstrap YourPackage $VERSION;
+ };
+
+The parentheses about C<XSLoader::load()> arguments are needed since we replaced
+C<use XSLoader> by C<require>, so the compiler does not know that a function
+C<XSLoader::load()> is present.
+
+This boilerplate uses the low-overhead C<XSLoader> if present; if used with
+an antic Perl which has no C<XSLoader>, it falls back to using C<DynaLoader>.
+
+=head1 Order of initialization: early load()
+
+I<Skip this section if the XSUB functions are supposed to be called from other
+modules only; read it only if you call your XSUBs from the code in your module,
+or have a C<BOOT:> section in your XS file (see L<perlxs/"The BOOT: Keyword">).
+What is described here is equally applicable to the L<DynaLoader|DynaLoader>
+interface.>
+
+A sufficiently complicated module using XS would have both Perl code (defined
+in F<YourPackage.pm>) and XS code (defined in F<YourPackage.xs>). If this
+Perl code makes calls into this XS code, and/or this XS code makes calls to
+the Perl code, one should be careful with the order of initialization.
+
+The call to C<XSLoader::load()> (or C<bootstrap()>) has three side effects:
+
+=over
+
+=item *
+
+if C<$VERSION> was specified, a sanity check is done to ensure that the
+versions of the F<.pm> and the (compiled) F<.xs> parts are compatible;
+
+=item *
+
+the XSUBs are made accessible from Perl;
+
+=item *
+
+if a C<BOOT:> section was present in the F<.xs> file, the code there is called.
+
+=back
+
+Consequently, if the code in the F<.pm> file makes calls to these XSUBs, it is
+convenient to have XSUBs installed before the Perl code is defined; for
+example, this makes prototypes for XSUBs visible to this Perl code.
+Alternatively, if the C<BOOT:> section makes calls to Perl functions (or
+uses Perl variables) defined in the F<.pm> file, they must be defined prior to
+the call to C<XSLoader::load()> (or C<bootstrap()>).
+
+The first situation being much more frequent, it makes sense to rewrite the
+boilerplate as
+
+ package YourPackage;
+ use XSLoader;
+ use vars qw($VERSION @ISA);
+
+ BEGIN {
+ @ISA = qw( OnePackage OtherPackage );
+ $VERSION = '0.01';
+
+ # Put Perl code used in the BOOT: section here
+
+ XSLoader::load 'YourPackage', $VERSION;
+ }
+
+ # Put Perl code making calls into XSUBs here
+
+=head2 The most hairy case
+
+If the interdependence of your C<BOOT:> section and Perl code is
+more complicated than this (e.g., the C<BOOT:> section makes calls to Perl
+functions which make calls to XSUBs with prototypes), get rid of the C<BOOT:>
+section altogether. Replace it with a function C<onBOOT()>, and call it like
+this:
+
+ package YourPackage;
+ use XSLoader;
+ use vars qw($VERSION @ISA);
+
+ BEGIN {
+ @ISA = qw( OnePackage OtherPackage );
+ $VERSION = '0.01';
+ XSLoader::load 'YourPackage', $VERSION;
+ }
+
+ # Put Perl code used in onBOOT() function here; calls to XSUBs are
+ # prototype-checked.
+
+ onBOOT;
+
+ # Put Perl initialization code assuming that XS is initialized here
+
+
+=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
+
+=over
+
+=item C<Can't find '%s' symbol in %s>
+
+B<(F)> The bootstrap symbol could not be found in the extension module.
+
+=item C<Can't load '%s' for module %s: %s>
+
+B<(F)> The loading or initialisation of the extension module failed.
+The detailed error follows.
+
+=item C<Undefined symbols present after loading %s: %s>
+
+B<(W)> As the message says, some symbols stay undefined although the
+extension module was correctly loaded and initialised. The list of undefined
+symbols follows.
+
+=item C<XSLoader::load('Your::Module', $Your::Module::VERSION)>
+
+B<(F)> You tried to invoke C<load()> without any argument. You must supply
+a module name, and optionally its version.
+
+=back
+
+
+=head1 LIMITATIONS
+
+To reduce the overhead as much as possible, only one possible location
+is checked to find the extension DLL (this location is where C<make install>
+would put the DLL). If not found, the search for the DLL is transparently
+delegated to C<DynaLoader>, which looks for the DLL along the C<@INC> list.
+
+In particular, this is applicable to the structure of C<@INC> used for testing
+not-yet-installed extensions. This means that running uninstalled extensions
+may have much more overhead than running the same extensions after
+C<make install>.
