+This module tries to make it easy to build Perl extensions that use
+functions and typemaps provided by other perl extensions. This means
+that a perl extension is treated like a shared library that provides
+also a C and an XS interface besides the perl one. This works as long
+as the base extension is loaded with the RTLD_GLOBAL flag (usually done
+with a
+
+ sub dl_load_flags {0x01}
+
+in the main .pm file) if you need to use functions defined in the
+module.
