Well, a couple of suggestions:

Restore the /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl directory from a working backup.

Try doing a ./configure --with-perl in the src directory, then go into
interfaces/Perl5 and type make;make install. Maybe the currently installed
src dir wasn't correct.

Might also want to check that /usr/local/pgsql/lib is in your
/etc/ld.so.conf file and re-run ldconfig. (Probably should do this before
trying the rebuild of the perl interface)
