do you have a shared library libperl.so, in
output/target/usr/lib/perl5/5.16.1/-your-arch-/CORE/libperl.so ?
or in output/build/perl-5.16.1/libperl.so ?

looks like a static linked build
the use of shared lib is forced at configure time by the option : -Duseshrplib

I need to see the ouput of :
on your target :
     # perl -V
or on your host :
     $ output/host/usr/bin/qemu-your-arch output/build/perl-5.16.1/perl -Ilib -V
