"ActivePerl" is a commercial implementation of Perl:

http://www.activestate.com/

If you're running Linux, you undoubtedly already have a built-in version of Perl.

The real question is:

"What program are you trying to run that gives you the error?"

SUGGESTIONS:
1. Run "ldd" on the executable that's giving you the error, and see what shared libraries it's looking for.

2. Look at the documentation (if any) for this executable, and see if (and why) it seems to need ActivePerl.

Its a scanner.

ldd file gives me this:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00c50000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x00572000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x004a8000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x004ae000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x0058b000)
libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x0015b000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x004d7000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0015f000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00344000)

<= Still the main question

SUGGESTIONS:
1. Run "ldd" on the executable that's giving you the error, and see what shared libraries it's looking for.
<= "ldd" seemed reasonable, since the error message mentioned a shared library.
But no clues in your particular "ldd" list. Sorry!


2. Look at the documentation (if any) for this executable, and see if (and why) it seems to need ActivePerl.
<= This is probably your next step
Good luck!
