FreeBSD Perl Problem plz help!

[geeza@]

Hi Guys,
I've recently installed Plesk 7.5.4 on FreeBSD 5.3. Everything is fine apart from apache which is refusing to start. The reason it gives for this is as follows.


Syntax error on line 303 of /usr/local/psa/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/psa/apache/libexec/mod_perl.so into server: Shared object "libperl.so" not found, required by "mod_perl.so"


I installed Perl5.8.7 from src and everything seemed fine, however there is no libperl.so on my system (I searched the entire disk).

I think I need to remove/reinstall perl. Is this safe to do or will doing this ruin my current Plesk installation?

This is the output I get from perl -v :

This is perl, v5.8.7 built for i386-freebsd

Any help will be greatly appreciated

fixed it . I installed the perl 5.8.7 port and it must have added the missing files.

I have the same problem, but even if I installed the new version of perl, it still doesn't fix the problem, could anyone help?

use ports
not the downloaded source code.

I've made the link from /usr/local/psa/lib/perl5/5.8.7 to /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7 and Apache was started.
