I want to clean up this code. The same problem was occurring on Solaris2. Yosh has now tweaked some of the libtool options so that it should now work. Do these fixes for Solaris2 also fix the problem under OS/2? > I suggest to create a new file called modregister.c and put > all the "register" things there.

Ideally we should be doing the same thing for all architectures, rather than using nasty #ifdefs everywhere. Also, still to be fixed with the module code is a version check as suggested by Tim Janik a long time ago, and unloading modules from the idle loop (which should make the perl module self-unloadable). I'm not particularly happy with the OS/2 solution, it seems a little ugly, but I'm not sure why exactly I don't like it. Austin
