Interesting. I've heard of these ".so" files before, but we don't have any on our server. All we've got is the libperl.a. Does this mean that our current Perl installation is broken/incomplete? If so, I am going to see what I can do about having our Perl reinstalled. For what it's worth, we're using (courtesy of of "perl -v"): 
Binary build 633 provided by ActiveState Corp. http://www.ActiveState.

If it's a binary build, then, perhaps the .so file was never there to begin with. Would you recommend actually building it ourselves, as opposed to working with a precompiled binary?

Yes, I believe the compiler is the standard, no-frills HP-UX compiler.

And - please forgive the remedial nature of my questions - how can I statically link the File::Glob module into my perl executable? What do I have to provide at the command line in order to make this happen?

Thank you again, for the help
