NAME

FLTK::Plugin - Portable loading of plugins

Description

This is a wrapper to make it simple to load plugins on various systems.

Functions

load_plugin

my $pointer = $plugin->load_plugin( $file, $symbol );

Will load the file as a plugin and then return a pointer to symbol in that file.

If symbol is undefined, it will return a non-zero value if the plugin loads but you cannot use this value for anything.

If there is any problem (file not found, does not load as a plugin, the symbol is not found) it will return null if there is any problem and print debugging info on STDERR.
