address space question

I need to load an nlm from within a perl script that requires to be loaded 
in the OS address space.

# hello.pl: very simple sample perl script
`smdr`;
print "Howdy, world!\n";

SMDR is unresolved because it requires to be loaded in the OS address space. 
Changing the load command to
# hello.pl: very simple sample perl script
system "SMDR";
print "Howdy, world!\n";

works, but as discussed here in the past, is not good because the execution 
returns immediately.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Frank Ramke

take a look at this old script:
http://www.gknw.net/nwperl/perlucx/apache.txt
it shows how you can check if a NLM is loaded, and if not then load with 
system() and wait until loaded...
I think there's also a Run() or Load() method, but I dont know if that loads 
into OS, or also protected - you have to check...
The docu for the UCS/UCX components can be found with the NScript docs:

and here the Load method:
