Ok, I checked the code that sets up the parser. It does exactly the thing described in the perlembed page and it does load up dynaloader. Anyway, I took Inline out and rewrote the module in pure XS, and that seems to cause no problems (wasn't so hard since it was nothing but a wrapper anyway). Once off the critical path, we'll try to investigate deeper why Inline won't work with our embedded perl. -- cg
