Can't find path for shared library: libperl.sl

[Michael D. Butler_1]

I have perl 5.8 loaded onto a HP-UX 11.11 workstation. When I try to run a perl script, I get:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't find path for shared library: libperl.sl
I've tried editing /etc/SHLIB_PATH to point to where libperl.sl exists, but that doesn't work. Any help that anyone could provide would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Shalom,

Check the perl installation swverify \*

Check that the perl in the top of the script is pointing to /opt where perl resides.

Hi Michael,

What happens if you directly set it before running the script?

export SHLIB_PATH=/path/to/perl/lib

Rgds,
Jeff

Stephen, you pointed me in the right direction. The script had been written originally under Perl 5.6, but I had 5.8 installed. So the script wasn't pointing to the 5.8 installation. I guess I was pretty brain dead this morning. Thanks for your help.
