I would do it like this:
o compile and test aout perl.
o install it into some location; I think that /usr/local/bin is quite alright;
don't let aout perl substitute standard /usr/bin/perl executable, though.
o install your libraries. The best location for them is at /usr/local/lib/aout.
o start a shell with environment tuned to launch aout perl. In this
example, put /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin in your path (just for this session).
o also, do
OBJFORMAT=aout; export OBJFORMAT
in the shell.
o if your libraries (interbase, whatever) are shared, make sure to
ldconfig -aout -R
to update aout-.so cache (do it as root)
o now you should be able to compile all necessary perl XS modules
which use (interbase, whatever) libraries. Do it.
That's seem to be all. After performing all those steps you should be
able to run /usr/local/bin/perl and use XS modules you need.
Please note that all this, except compiling aout perl, is untested.
Hope this helps.
