Hi!

I have some problems using boost::any in different modules that get
loaded with libdl. If i store an int in the boost::any it works like a
charm - but when i use a std::string then the boost::any (holding a
std::string) isn't any_castable to a std::string because it seems that
typeid(std::string) != boost::any.type(). Only thing which is the same
is the string represantation of type().name().

I've recently encountered this issue, too. The comparison failes because it compares pointers and each module has its own static rtti information. You could try http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/07/124502.php for a solution.
