Binary package hint: perl-base

ubuntu hardy heron 8.04 amd64
$ apt-cache policy perl perl-base
perl:

perl is missing an important link /usr/lib/libperl.so

Example:
$ perlcc moo.pl -o moo.exe
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

When I linked libperl.so it worked properly:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libperl.so.5.8 /usr/lib/libperl.so
$ perlcc moo.pl -o moo.exe
$
