bootstrap ??

[Bharat Sinha]

Hi,
I got a package from cpan, and it contains a
"bootstrap 'nameof module'" command. When I use this module perl interpreter
fails to recognize this module unless I remove the bootstrap command.

Does anyone know what this command does and why the interpreter doesn't
recognize the package with this command in it.

I got a package from cpan,

Define "got". Did you _install_ it?

and it contains a "bootstrap 'nameof module'" command.

This loads the non-Perl part of the module.

When I use this module perl interpreter
fails to recognize this module unless I remove the bootstrap command.

Define "fails to recognise".
