No; FreeBSD and Linux binaries cannot use each other's shared modules (XFree86 modules being an exception since they use a special OS-neutral loader). You will need to get a FreeBSD version of that shared library, or build/install a Linux version of Perl and use that. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
