Package: perl
Version: 5.001-5.elf

The new elf perl package depends on version 5 of the math library.
However, as far as I can tell, version 5 has not been released yet (as
a debian package).

   Done.
   You can re-run this script at any time as 'perlconfig'.
   You should do this any time you install new header files
   in /usr/include.

I'm using elf-libc-5.2.7-1.  Should the linker accept libm.so.5.0.3
as a match when it is searching for libm.so.5?  I'm at work now.
I'll double check this tonight.  Perhaps there was a problem when I
installed elf-libc.

Somehow, elf-libc is installed but libm.so.5 is not.  After
reinstalling elf-libc and reinstalling perl, all is well.  I have no
idea how the problem occured.  It's been a few weeks since I first
installed elf-libc.

This is obviously not a perl problem.  Please close this bug report.
Thanks.
