What you did is the wrong solution, because the directory
where you found it is the proper place for it.
See my earlier message for the correct solution.
If you install a later version of perl, you will then have two
versions of libperl.so on your system, and you will then be
using the old version.
Using the file /etc/ld.so.conf and the utility ldconfig is the
correct ray to tell the dynamic linker where to look for .so files.
