All of the parts required to use it look like they are included with the gaim RPM. $ rpm -ql gaim | grep 'Gaim' /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/Gaim.pm /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Gaim /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Gaim/.packlist /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Gaim/Gaim.bs /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Gaim/Gaim.so /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Gaim/autosplit.ix /usr/share/man/man3/Gaim.3pm.gz However, when trying to use it, I get the same problems as you. $ perl -MGaim -le'print "hello\n"' perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Gaim/Gaim.so: undefined symbol: gaim_perl_callXS $ You might solve the problem if you could rebuild the Perl module and install it from source, but as I said before, it's not on CPAN and I can't seem to find it anywhere else on the web.
