It would be trivial, but ...

on most systems perl lib is installed into own directory not in standard
libpath. That means that you have to link your program with some variant
of

LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib/perl/5.6.0/... $(LD) ... -L$... -lperl ...

Now, the problem is - I do now that it works when linking main program. I
do not know if it works when linking shared object.

Also, we have AIX and Cygwin. Cygwin may be easier because here libperl is
in PATH (I guess, nust check), but I suspect it won't work for AIX at all
(because we need list of symbols exported from libperl.so). Anybody knows
status of perl on AIX?

Note, that there is no prolem with static perl library.
