There could be several problems.
Check your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to see if there is a path
to libperl.so in there (like PATH for executables).
You can also check the permissions on the file itself. The error "file
does not exist" sometimes means it just can't be opened for one reason or
another.
That's just two things off the top of my head.
