I tried to disable my alterations, but this lead to a number of unresolved symbols when linking and I gave it up. In any case, notice that the problem is not to get the module to run with the Perl I build it under. The problem is to get the binary to run with other Perls built for the same platform. >> XS_BOTHVERSION_SETXSUBFN_POPMARK_BOOTCHECK is something I haven't >> previously encountered.

In case someone else find this thread in the future, I should point out there are several BOOTCHECK macros that all lead to Perl_xs_handshake which implements this handshake check. I found that the macro above is the one that applied to my code by looking at the generated CPP code. So if you run into this, and can't find no other way to work around it, you will need to look what XS produces and in XSUB.h to figure out what to do. But first check that you don't have any major flag mismatch like PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS like sisyphus had. And don't be surprised if you kill the check like I did, that things to crash boom bang later. It has worked for me ...so far. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esq...@sommarskog.se
