I must not be building this correctly because I get the following error message if I don't create the libperl.so and symlink it into /usr/lib/libperl.so: error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I can't find anything about this error in the docs or via Google.

Yeah, that's certainly a concern. I'd like to figure out my misconfiguration issue above then will attempt your proposal to nuke all these old installations and start fresh.
