Perl and linux emulation

Hello.

I have a perl module (Adobe's FDF toolkit) that uses two .so files as part
of it's magic. These files come precompiled for Linux. Not surprisingly, when
I try to do a perl "use" on the module I get an error like this:

Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/FDF.so' for module Acrobat::FDF: Shared object "libc.so.6" not found at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-freebsd/DynaLoader.pm line 206.
 at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Acrobat/FDF.pm line 741


Is there a way to use a Linux compiled .so file with the a perl compiled for
FreeBSD? If not, does anyone know of a way to easily install a seperate perl
compiled as a linux binary?

Thanks
- Jason
