[Asterisk-Users] Wierd asterisk-perl compilation problem

[David Carroll]

I had read some folks complaining about perl on redhat so I suspected
something like that.  I'm a distro pragmatist so switching to
debian/slackware/mandrake wouldn't be an issue, but I have this box set
up pretty well so I'll just try and do perl from scratch and see if that
fixes it.
