Issues with pyperl: perl2.so not found

[Cameron Beattie]

I am attempting to install pyperl and am having an issue where it can't find
perl2.so. I think this is one of those ones where it's looking under the
stairs for something which is actually in the laundry under a pile of dirty
clothes.

cd /tmp/pyperl*
cd Python-Object; perl Makefile.PL; make install
cd ..
python setup.py install
python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "apply.py", line 1, in ?
import perl
ImportError: perl2.so not found

echo $PATH
/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin

find -name perl2.so
../usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/perl2.so

whereis python
python: /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.4 /usr/lib/python2.4
/usr/lib/python2.3 /usr/include/python2.4 /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz

whereis perl
perl: /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/man/man1/perl.1.gz

python -V
Python 2.4.1

perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.6 built for i386-linux-thread-multi

Obviously I've done something wrong and any clues to point me or the system
in the right direction would be appreciated.

Regards
