I am looking for any information or instruction on how to run SIGAR API using perl. I looked into the binding directory where the Makefile.PL is placed and created makefile and then ran make command, it went fine but i cannot run any of the examples. I also pasted the error which am getting when running the example program listed in the “exmaples” directory. Please let me know if i am missing anything.

Try putting the
libsigar-amd64-linux.solibrary to a place known to the Linux library loader and telling ExtUtils::MakeMaker explicitely about the path:
