when i run a script it says; 
[root@fedora-basher tests]# ./fetchmail.pl
Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mapi.so' for module mapi: /
+usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mapi.so: undefined symbol: swig_types a
+t /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230
+.

so I do; 
[root]# nm /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mapi.so | grep swig_types
         U swig_types

I think this means that perl cannot load mapi.so because swig_types is not defined in any .so library. so i do; 
for f in  `find / -name '*.so'`; do echo $f ; nm $f | grep swig_types 
+; done > x.x 2>y.y

then look in x.x for where swig_types is defined but there is nothing but mapi.so How do I work out what library swig_types is defined in so that the perl script can work?
