uh, i meant did you compile perl or are you using the perl that came with debian ( the reason i ask is because you might need the perl-devel package to get the static libs for ld to find libperl.a)

whenevery you see an error like:

ld: cannot find -lperl

insert lib in place of -l and thats the library its trying to link with ( in this case libperl).

in short:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl

means the linker cannot find the perl library on your system. It is either:

1. not there, or you need the debian perl-devel (or maybe libperl-devel depending on what debian calls it) package installed

2. incorrectly installed.

3. not in the library search path.
