Win32::LoadLibrary returns a handle for both

Yep - just checked, and Win32::LoadLibrary loads them both just fine for me, too.
Which means ... what ... it's a DynaLoader bug ?

For my check, I ran this script (as per the one you posted earlier in this thread):

use warnings;
use strict;
use Win32;

my $ret = Win32::LoadLibrary('C:\sisyphusion\PLplot_broken.dll');
print "ret=$ret glr=".Win32::GetLastError()."\n";

$ret = Win32::LoadLibrary('C:\sisyphusion\PLplot_ok.dll');
print "ret=$ret glr=".Win32::GetLastError()."\n";
[download]

and that produced the following output:

ret=1647050752 glr=0
ret=1659895808 glr=0
[download]

It's not just 5.8.9 where this happens, but also 5.8.8, 5.14.0. 5.16.0 (and perhaps other perls as well).

Cheers,
Rob
