How can I use rperl with perlbrew? - perl

Question

I have this simple rperl program:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use RPerl;
use strict;
use warnings;
our $VERSION = 0.001_000;
# [[[ CRITICS ]]]
## no critic qw(ProhibitUselessNoCritic ProhibitMagicNumbers RequireCheckedSyscalls) # USER DEFAULT 1: allow numeric values & print operator
## no critic qw(RequireInterpolationOfMetachars) # USER DEFAULT 2: allow single-quoted control characters & sigils
## no critic qw(ProhibitInterpolationOfLiterals) # USER DEFAULT 3: allow anything
print 'Hello Perl', "\n";
See Exercise 1 in Learning RPerl. I am on Ubuntu 19.04, using perlbrew with perl version 5.28.1. I installed RPerl using:
$ cpanm RPerl
Then I tried to compile the above program:
$ rperl -D p.pl
[...]
[[[ SUBCOMPILE STDERR ]]]
/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
ERROR ECOCOSU04, COMPILER, SUBCOMPILE: C++ compiler returned error code,
[...]

Answer 1

Apparently, rperl needs to link against libperl.so, but the perl I installed rperl with was not built with a shared library libperl.so. The solution was to install a new perl using configure option -Duseshrplib:
$ perlbrew install perl-5.30.0 --notest --noman --as=5.30.0-reloc -Duseshrplib
$ perbrew use 5.30.0-reloc
$ cpanm RPerl
$ rperl -V p.pl
[...]
$ ./p
Hello Perl
