No, a typo.

Why, then, did you try to call it ? :-)

Because it's not supposed to be called from user level: When a file 
containing XCMDs is loaded via MacPerl::LoadExternals, an alias of
CallXL is created for each of the XCMDs to handle the Perl->XCMD glueing.

To emphasize the fact the CallXL is internal, I have now renamed it to
_CallXL.

That plus an unannounced renaming of the function :-)
