UNIX FreeBSD -V 4.9 O/S, i386 arch, Perl -V 5.8.2 Installation

I've just installed a program w/ a PERL API. Now, on launching Perl, I
get the following error message

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2/mach/CORE/libperl.so: Undefined symbol
"nl_langinfo"

Can't even run the debugger,

Running ==> ldd /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2/mach/CORE/libperl.so
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2/mach/CORE/libperl.so:
libm.so.2 => /root/usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x281f8000)
libcrypt.so.2 => /root/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2 (0x28214000)

libc.so.4 => /root/usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x28072000)

Anyone with a recommendation or solution?
