According to Gary Stanny:

Don't worry about it. The .bs file (for Bootstrap) is for architectures
other than i386.

You probably took a CURRENT package (or a 2.2.5 one) and got bitten by the
new ld.so that can find symbols in shared libs with or without the "_". With
the new ld, Perl's Configure doesn't generate "_" in front of names
exported so you old ld.so can't find them.

The package was probably created on a system with the new ld.

Recompile Perl yourself. Get the 5.004_04 BTW.
