I have preloaded .so files into gdb on Solaris but I don't recall if it was
by using LD_BIND_NOW or gdb's 'load'. Further, I was not trying to debug
perl and C. I was just debugging C++. YMMV
If the problem was mine perhaps I would get it working and post a recipe.
But, even if it was my problem, I don't have time at the moment. I just know
that one piece of that is possible and thought that piece of information
might be helpful. I was not trying to do your work for you. If you find this
to be useless hand-waving then please forget you read the message/thread.
