For problems like this, it is not that helpful if you report what your
program does, but instead, how you have organized your program. Like:

- I have a Solaris 8 32-bit binary foo, which I generated with gcc
  2.95.2.
- I also have linked libpython22.a to that binary.
- I have compiled the bar.so extension module
- when I try to import bar, I get the error message "foobar not found"

I don't understand the question. What is a "hard"-exported symbol, and
why do think Python wants it?

Also, why do you think any of the Python symbols interfere with Perl?

What symbols are you referring to?
