I have come with a question! Basic set up is:

• Dockerfile FROM debian:stretch-slim (though this seems unrelated because I am actually debugging an issue I saw in a non-docker Debian environment)
• everything is necessarily being done as a non-privileged user
• perl 5.32.0 installed as a non-privileged user using perlbrew

The problem: following the prescribed steps (e.g, setting MAGICK_HOME) and using --with-perl, making sure the perl I want is provided by the perlbrew environment as expected, there is an issue with the build process finding -lperl. I have noted the following:

• perlbrew provides libperl.a (but I have also tried by making it build libperl.so)
• using the options, --enable-shared --with-modules and passing in LINKTYPE=static LD_RUN_PATH=/path/to/CORE to ExtUtils::MakeMaker via --with-perl-options allows it to build; however testing with perl -MImage::Magick fails due to not finding a method Image::Magick is using called constant.

If I install libperl-dev via apt-get, it all works perfectly. This just feels wrong to me. Anyone ever deal with this? I do not get the same issues on Ubuntu doing anything special with perlbrew or passing in anything via --with-perl-options. Though it now occurs to me that I didn't ensure that libperl-dev was not installed as a dependency for something else.

I've been pouring over https://imagemagick.org/script/advanced-linux-installation.php for the better part of a day, and no luck. I also found https://legacy.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?t=8133, but it's a very old post and didn't seem to give me any good ideas.

My last resort is to, apt-get install libperl-dev - but I still want to use the newer version of perl provided by perlbrew. Any ideas? I can provide more detailed errors, but was hoping this could be recognized by someone here. TIA.
