oh. The configure script does something like this:
perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts
to obtain the "-lperl". That sounds as if perl can be installed to
report this, but lack the library...
This occurs on Debian Testing and the error goes away after installing
libperl-dev, which apparently just contains a symlink from libperl.so
to the already-installed libperl.so.x.y. I believe the setup is
fairly standard; practically all of the installed perl packages have
been pulled in as dependencies of other packages.
