I don't know if restoring libperl.so will be enough to make everything work, but here's how to extract the file from the rpm. Copy the latest perl rpm into some directory, then do rpm2cpio perl-5.8.0-88.3.i386.rpm | cpio -ivd \ ./usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so The result will be to put libperl.so into ./usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/. If your current directory is /, libperl.so will be where it belongs; otherwise you can move it to where it belongs.
