Trying to CREATE LANGUAGE plperl; in psql gives an error:

ERROR:  could not load library "/usr/pkg/lib/postgresql/plperl.so": /usr/pkg/lib/postgresql/plperl.so: Undefined symbol "boot_DynaLoader" (symnum = 134)

Can't use Postgres8.2 because no psycopg2 built for this version of Postgres (similarly can't use Apache 2.2 because no mod_python built for Apache 2.2) 

Back to debian...
>How-To-Repeat:
psql -d template1 pgsql

template1=# create language plperl;
ERROR:  could not load library "/usr/pkg/lib/postgresql/plperl.so": /usr/pkg/lib/postgresql/plperl.so: Undefined symbol "boot_DynaLoader" (symnum = 134)
