there are two should do to track down the problem
first is use the -w stitch with perl like so "#!/usr/bin/perl -w"
the second is to use strict
they may help you to track down the problem more easly
also keep in mind if your using red hat they somtimes do strange things 
to the libraries for instance they put libraries in odd locations and 
somtimes break them to me it looks like its looking for krb5.so in the 
wrong place it should be in /usb/kerberos/lib/krb5.so
not 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/auto/Authen/Krb5/Krb5.so:
try recompiling the module and give it the path to the libraries
read the INSTALL and or README files carefully before you recomile
hope i was a help and good luck
