I've haven't seen the problem you're encountering with
libPerlInterpreter.so. There is a needed Perl core patch
though. With Perl 5.7.2, you can build with -DJPL to enable 
the environment dup needed for later jdk's (1.7 and later). 

I suspect your Win32 Perl binary doesn't have the patch 
integrated so you're probably stuck with building Perl from 
source. If you want to go that route, I can send you Jarkko 
Hietieniemi's JPL patch.
