Please make sure that you DO NOT have libdl.* in your /usr/lib. This is
a known problem, and it is a problem with your setup, not with
lang/perl5 port. libdl library is a linux library which is normally
found in /compat/linux/lib. It has no business to be present in
/usr/lib.
The more I work with lang/perl5* ports, the more I am convinced that
unless I override every parameter perl's Configure understands, such
things are bound to happen!
Alright. Next time I modify lang/perl5 I'll put a safeguard for this.
It is the third time I see this. I wonder, though, how people manage to
get this library there... :-)
