I'm also running into the same test failure/hanng on Strawberry Perl 5.22 x64 and was able to work around it by copying "CallChecker.a" to "CallChecker.xs.a" in the lib\auto\Devel\CallChecker directory. DynaLoader::Functions is looking for a linkable file from "CallChecker.xs.dll", and in doing so it looks for "CallChecker.xs.a", but does not look for/see "CallChecker.a"

A "better" fix may be to patch Dynaloader/Functions.pm, addint at line 163 to check for a linkable file that doesn't have the ".xs" in it: if ($impname =~ s/\.xs(\.(?:lib|a))\z/$1/i) { return ($impname) if -e $impname; } The "best" fix would probably be to build a DLL that doesn't have ".xs" in the name

New version of DynaLoader::Functions solves this problem. Devel::CallChecker should require DynaLoader::Functions 0.003. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net
