Hello,

I am trying to use a Perl Module which depends upon a shared library.
This shared library is compiled for Linux. The the linux_base-7.1_7 port
contains the dependencies for this library.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to have Perl 5.8 (built for FreeBSD
4.9) run a Perl Module with this kind of dependency? If not, what's the
best way around this problem?

Thanks,
Brian
