I am having a problem trying to create a language in a new install of Postgres
  - I have installed postgres 9.1 on a minimal (i.e. no GUI) CentOS 6.2 system. 
  - Psql is running and I am able to connect to the database from pgAdmin 
running on a Windows box. 
  - Postgres was installed in /opt/postgres 
  - The data was placed in /var/postgres/data. 

I am migrating a database from an 8.4 system to the new system. I am trying to 
add the plperl and plperlu languages, which are used in the 8.4 system. 

The command I am using is:

    createlang -U postgres plperl hf-hvpa

The message I get back is:

    createlang: language installation failed: ERROR:  could not load library 
"/opt/postgres/lib/postgresql/plperl.so": libperl.so: cannot open shared object 
file: No such file or directory

I am doing this as the root user, but I have also tried it using my login and 
as the postgres user. The plperl.so file is in the indicated directory, but I 
am not sure what the reference to libperl.so means. Is that a separate file I 
need to download? 

I am fairy new to both Linux and Postgres, however I have successfully 
installed Postgres on a Windows systems.

Sincerely appreciate any help.
