[Hamlib-developer] Problems with Perl language interface

[Nate B. <n0...@ne...>]

Hi all.

I figured I would try the Perl interface to Hamlib.  All seemed to build
well, but I get a fatal error trying to run the test.pl script.  The
version of Perl on this system is 5.6.1.  I even tried running ldconfig
with no success.  Do I need to add the 
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1/auto/Hamlib to /etc/ld.so.conf, or is there
something else broken on my system?  I've never installed a locally
built Perl module before so I'm rather green here.  Everything seemed to
build fine, so I'm puzzled.

Here's the screen output:
