depending on if you've configured /etc/ld.so.conf to look in /usr/local/lib, you 
may need to specify LIBS to Makefile.PL.

  perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/usr/local/lib -lswish-e -lz'


that's a common thing to overlook in my experience. some linux distros (notably 
FC, which I also use) are not configured by default to look in /usr/local/lib 
when reconciling library paths.

read the ldconfig man page for your system.

(and apologies if I'm telling you stuff you already know...)
