Except the fact that your libperl<version>.dll could be damaged or that you
affected the perl environment so that it can't find IO.dll or the above, a
good thing would be to "ln -s <path_to_your_dll>/libperl<version>.dll
/lib/libperl.dll" or /usr/local/lib/libperl.dll. It seems that there are some modules
searching for dynamic loading using this name; although the CPAN modules I'm
using don't have this problem, the postgresql perl5 and plperl do. And the
"ln -s [...]" above solves it.
