Checking for extension issues

[Markley, Sean]

In DynaLoader.pm, it states:

    # Many dynamic extension loading problems will appear to come from
    # this section of code: XYZ failed at line 123 of DynaLoader.pm.
    # Often these errors are actually occurring in the initialisation
    # C code of the extension XS file. Perl reports the error as being
    # in this perl code simply because this was the last perl code
    # it executed.

    my $libref = dl_load_file($file) or
        Carp::croak("Can't load '$file' for module $module: ".dl_error()."\n");

So, assuming your C Code takes a nose dive during initialization, is there any
way to tell for sure this is happening with an existing library?

Thanks in advance.
