Hi,

There seems to be something wrong currently with the build process  
when linking aginst Debian supplied spidermonkey. Others have  
reported the same problem.

The easiest way to solve it right now is that you download and build  
your own SpiderMonkey and link aginst that.

When running Makefile.PL, make sure your environment variable JS_INC  
is set to the paths where your SpiderMonkey includes are (use : to  
separate directories) and JS_LIB to point to the path where the  
libjs.so is.
