[mplspm]: Problem with dynamic linking XS -- static Perl binary??

[Matt Johnson]

Hi Mark:
I had problem a while back with the HP dynamic link loader that sounds
similar to yours.  The problem was that certain versions of HP's dynamic
link loader could not load libraries that used thread local storage.

Please cut and paste your exact error message along with the HP/UX patch
level and compiler versions.
