In addition to the shared libperl, you'll need to build with
the native malloc. You should see the following if the native
malloc's being used:
$ perl -V:usemymalloc
usemymalloc='n';
Also remember to pass the option '-DJPL' to Configure when
you're rebuilding.
Most importantly though, Jarkko sent us a note that the needed
JPL core patch had failed to make 5.8.0.
So, if you need to patch 5.8.0, the patch that needs to be
applied is here:
http://www.iki.fi/jhi/19756.pat
Or, you could simply get the advance copy of 5.8.1 with the
patch intact if that's an option:
http://www.iki.fi/jhi/perl@19759.tgz
Hope this helps,
