There is no C<*.bs> file supplied with the extension. Instead a C<*_BS> file which has code for the special cases, like posix for berkeley db on the NeXT. This file will get parsed, and produce a maybe empty C<@DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using> array for the current architecture. That will be extended by $BSLOADLIBS, which was computed by ExtUtils::Liblist::ext(). If this array still is empty, we do nothing, else we write a .bs file with an C<@DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using> array. The C<*_BS> file can put some code into the generated C<*.bs> file by placing it in C<$bscode>. This is a handy 'escape' mechanism that may prove useful in complex situations. If @DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using contains C<-L*> or C<-l*> entries then Mkbootstrap will automatically add a dl_findfile() call to the generated C<*.bs> file. =cut
