bootstrap ??

Hi,
I got a package from cpan, and it contains a
"bootstrap 'nameof module'" command. When I use this module perl interpreter
fails to recognize this module unless I remove the bootstrap command.

Does anyone know what this command does and why the interpreter doesn't
recognize the package with this command in it.

Define "got". Did you _install_ it?

This loads the non-Perl part of the module.

Define "fails to recognise".
