Where is libperl.so?
I use some software, on a stable/testing machine, that contains an
embedded perl interpretter. It used to work fine when I had perl 5.8.1
but after upgrading to 5.8.3 it no longer works.
The problem appears to be that libperl.so does not exist in
$Config{archlib}/CORE ie /usr/lib/perl/5.8/CORE. However I can make
the software work by symlinking /usr/lib/libperl.so.5.8
to /usr/lib/perl/5.8/CORE/libperl.so .
According to 'man perlembed' the "perl library" should be in
$Config{archlib}/CORE which is where the software looks for it. I
assume by "perl library" that the man page means libperl.so.
Is this a bug in the software I'm using or in the Debian perl packages?
