>Description:
I tried rebuilding some software, including perl-5.6.1nb9, from
current pkgsrc.

perl-5.6.1nb9 builds fine, but the Perl module Dumper.so does not 
work due to a linker problem:

kaip@winnie ~ % ldd /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-netbsd/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-netbsd/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so:
         -lperl => not found

libperl.so is in /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-netbsd/CORE,
which is not found by the linker. E.g. setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
helps to find the library:

kaip@winnie ~ % env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-netbsd/CORE ldd /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-netbsd/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-netbsd/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so:
         -lperl => /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-netbsd/CORE/libperl.so

Because of this perl problem, the build of e.g. devel/autoconf
(and thus many other packages) fails:
