Hi,

When adding the 
	use JavaScript;

line, the code breaks with the message:
Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/auto/JavaScript/JavaScript.so' for module
JavaScript: /usr/lib/perl5/auto/JavaScript/JavaScript.so: undefined
symbol: JS_PropertyStub at /usr/lib/perl/5.8/DynaLoader.pm line 225.
 at ./js1.pl line 3
 Compilation failed in require at ./js1.pl line 3.
 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./js1.pl line 3.

The file js1.pl is:
	#!/usr/bin/perl

	use JavaScript;

	print "test1\n";


I'm unable to find a report for this problem anywhere, and no
documentation bout this problem as well.
