# `missing-dependency-on-perlapi`

This package includes a *.so file in `/usr/lib/.../perl5`, normally indicating that it includes a binary Perl module. Binary Perl modules must depend on perlapi-$Config{version} (from the Config module). If the package is using debhelper, this problem is usually due to a missing dh_perl call in `debian/rules` or a missing ${perl:Depends} substitution variable in the Depends line in `debian/control`.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
