Create Perl Support

Hi all,

we builded a pqsql 7.3.2 (with perl support) at our redhat 8.0.
We builded libperl.so. Now we are trying to execute

    createlang plperl "ourdatabase".

We are getting the message:

    ERROR: stat failed on file '$libdir/plperl': No such file or directory.

Can anyone of you explain us, what the problem is, and may be, how to
fix it?

That would be nice, thanks alot,
Sebastian

$libdir should be replaced by the $PGLIB directory; if that is
undefined, there is a hardcoded substitution in the createlang script.
Move plperl.so to that directory, or make a symbolic link there.
