I'm getting a weird error using perl 5.6.1 from stable trying to compile
a perl module.

I've searched google & the lists but can't find anything.
Unfortunately, the way that the module is written cannot be changed,
because it's not my code -- I'm just doing the admin stuff.

Anyway, here's the error:
perlcc -o test test.pl
/tmp/ccddirWs.o: In function `dl_init':
/tmp/ccddirWs.o(.text+0x57567): undefined reference to `boot_Pg'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I also get this for boot_Term__ReadKey.

I can reproduce this on another stable box with the following code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Pg;

print "Test";

The code refuses to compile. It does, however, compile on another box
running Testing that has 5.8.3.

Relevant package versions:

ii perl 5.6.1-8.7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and
Report
ii perl-base 5.6.1-8.7 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish
Lister.
ii perl-modules 5.6.1-8.7 Core Perl modules.
ii libperl5.6 5.6.1-8.7 Shared Perl library.
ii libpgperl 7.2.1-2woody5 Perl modules for PostgreSQL.
ii libterm-readke 2.19-1 A perl module for simple terminal
control

If anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated. We'd like
to keep this box using stable packages as much as possible for paranoia
reasons.

Thanks.
