   5# MachTen does not support dynamic loading. If you wish to, you
   6# can fetch, compile, and install the dld package.
   7# This ought to work with the ext/DynaLoader/dl_dld.xs in the 
   8# perl5 package. Have fun!
   9# Some possible locations for dld:
  10# ftp-swiss.ai.mit.edu:pub/scm/dld-3.2.7.tar.gz
  11# prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/jacal/dld-3.2.7.tar.gz
  12# ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pub/scheme-repository/imp/SCM-support/dld-3.2.7.tar.gz
  13# tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/libs/dld-3.2.7.tar.gz
  14#
  15#  Original version was for MachTen 2.1.1.
