garimag has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi I am new to perl , my script is using BERKLEYDB module .I am running script on a cluster where perl 5.8.8 is installed but I have set PERL5LIB to my folder which contains perl 5.8.5. when I run script it give me this error: Can't load '/home/garimag/perl/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/BerkeleyDB/BerkeleyDB.so' for module BerkeleyDB: libdb-4.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/XSLoader.pm line 70. at /home/garimag/src/clairlib/lib/Clair/Network.pm line 965 Compilation failed in require at /home/garimag/src/clairlib/lib/Clair/Network.pm line 965.

END failed--call queue aborted at /home/garimag/src/clairlib/util/print_network_stats.pl line 11. I have tried so many options like: I have put Berkleydb which uses LIB4.3.so , but then it give me some ELF error which is hard to grasp I have also downloaded perl 5.8.8 folder and used Berkleydb but error remains same. Please guide me how to go about this error.

    So, did you install BerkleyDB module in your directory where perl 5.8.5 resides?
    What happens when you do this? 
    perl -MBerkeleyDB -e 1

    Oh, can you find this file anywhere in your system -- libdb-4.2.so ?
