That gets me a libperl.so, but it puts it in /usr/lib and not $Config{archlibexp}/CORE/, which is where this software looks for it and where the man page says it should be.
Is this a bug in the Debian perl package? I also have an installation of Mandrake 10 and that has libperl.so in the above location.
If it's not a bug then what should I tell the developers if I ask them to fix it?
/usr/lib is in the linker's path so -lperl should work fine. See the linker options produced by ExtUtils::Embed:
$ perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts
OK I see now, we are talking about different things.
I don't think the program is linked with libperl, at least it's not mentioned in the output of ldd.
I think what it does is to get the OS to exec (probably using system()) something like:
perl -MConfig -e 'print $Config{archlibexp}'
I think it then uses the path returned to dlopen() $Config{archlibexp}/CORE/libperl.so .
