No, Perl_report_uninit() is not a public Perl API, so extensions are not allowed to call it. On Linux this cannot be enforced as all internal symbols are being exported anyways, but on Windows (and AIX) you can only call APIs that are marked as "public" in the embed.fnc file in the core Perl distribution. In general it is a good idea to check `perldoc perlapi`. If the function isn't listed in there, then you are not allowed to use them in an extension. Cheers, -Jan
