>Description:
When launching net/freeradius2 with perl support, one gets the following error:

Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/mach/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so' for module Data::Dumper: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/mach/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so: Undefined symbol "Perl_sv_cmp" at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/mach/XSLoader.pm line 70.

rlm_perl: perl_parse failed: /usr/local/etc/raddb/example.pl not found or has syntax errors.  
/usr/local/etc/raddb/modules/perl[7]: Instantiation failed for module "perl"

Information/workarounds/discussion regarding this issue can be located all over the net.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build and install net/freeradius2, with perl support and attempt to launch.  (Ensuring FR has the perl module instantiated/used in some way)
>Fix:
Apply the attached patch to activate the new code in FR 2.1.8 to support the newer libtool API as mentioned in http://www.mail-archive.com/freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org/msg60579.html.  This will only take place whenever WITH_PERL is defined.

Potential issues:
-Alan DeKok says the new code is untested, however, it does appear to eliminate the need for the LD_PRELOAD workaround that has been floating around, as mentioned in http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=64557.
-This is a temporary workaround that will most likely need to be removed once 2.2.x of FR has been released and someone has confirmed that this has been resolved without the extra define.
