This is known issue on FC3, and we fixed the RPMset for that. Until we
release RC2 RPMs, could you please run the following commands :

export PERLVER=`perl -e 'printf "%vd\n", $^V'`
echo "/usr/lib/perl5/$PERLVER/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/perl.conf
ldconfig

Then

createlang plperl test

will work.
