What does “perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts” show ?

I don’t remember installing perl, so the message may be a misdirection.  
How would I install perl on Ubuntu Lucid? I am not sure what perl  
package I should be looking for.

LOL, “probably harmless”. libperl is the very library required for  
linking.  
It’s seems you have broken perl installation.

Last time I tried this on Debian, libper-dev package was required.
