how was this postgres 'already built' edition installed?

the source to plperl is built into postgres, if perl is in your path,
--with-perl should figure out where the libraries it needs are.

Why?

If you don't want to overwrite your existing installation, I'd suggest
reconfigure with --with-perl (and all else the same as before), build,
then cd to src/pl/plperl and do "make install" only in that subdirectory.
