You probably want to stick an rpath into the plperl.so library.  PG 8.0
does that by default, but for 7.4 I recommend something like this:

RCS file: /projects/cvsroot/pgsql-server/src/pl/plperl/GNUmakefile,v
retrieving revision 1.10
diff -r1.10 GNUmakefile
18c18
< override CFLAGS := $(filter-out -Wall -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes, $(CFLAGS))
---
> override CFLAGS := $(filter-out -Wall -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes, $(CFLAGS),
-Wl,-rpath,$(perl_archlibexp)/CORE) 

(The above is taken from the Red Hat RPMs and is known to work on Linux,
but I can't swear that it works on any other platform.)
