Your answer is right there, dlerror(?) etc. is there, but if you get to
dlerror, you have to set it to 'no', if i remember right.

Here's what i did for perl-5.001e and NetBSD 1.0:

set base=/soft/perl-5.001e
./Configure -d -e -s -D prefix=${base} -D mansrc=${base}/man/man1 -D cc=gcc

Then, on the shell-escape, edit config.sh and set d_dlerror to 'undef'.

Well, why not use the precomiled perl-5.001e here? Should work flawlessly on
1.0:
