[Asterisk-Users] Wierd asterisk-perl compilation problem

[mattf]

Hello,

A good rule of thumb for heavy perl users is to not use Fedora/RedHat. Or at
least not use rpms or the preinstalled perl on the OS. RedHat has done a lot
to screw up how perl works in the last several versions and there are a lot
of angry perl developers that have just given up on the distro altogether.

I suggest using another ditro(I know that's a little drastic, but you'll be
better off in the long run) or at least install ActivePerl from ActiveState
or download perl source and compile it on your system and use that.

I use Slackware now and have no problems with perl or asterisk-perl on stock
installs.

Oops, accidentally hit send instead of attach :).

I'm attaching the strace and the env outputs to see if that helps
someone figure out what I have going on wrong.  Asterisk is up and going
great, I just can't seem to figure out what package I'm missing, or what
is broken by the output.
