Hi, I'm currently working on a perl module for an existing program. The perl programs to be evaluated in turn depends on perl modules that include shared object files:
Program A -> Module B with perl -> Perl Module C -> Library D The module mechanism in the program is realized via the dlopen function. Unfortunately, there seems to exist some type of problem when program A dlopens a library B that again dlopens a library D; program A segfaults. There seem to exist some dependencies on the flags used in the dlopen call - I have been successful in a few cases but am not too confident that the problem in fact has disappeared. The procedure described here is similar to what happens in apache's mod_perl; there _seem_ to exist some workarounds there - which I frankly currently do not understand. Can you give me any information on that topic? * Am I doing something terribly wrong, and the behavior described _should_ work? * Do you have any additional hints? Any help is greatly appreciated.
