O perl monks, I seek your collective wisdom.
&lt;p&gt;
Recently I discovered that several perl modules had been erased and that backups did not exist for the particular folder the modules exist in. I tried updating - reinstalling etc but the modules are not available from the (AIX .bff) files.

I did however find the .so file counterparts to the .pm files that are Supposed to be installed.

I have searched around for how to generate a perl module from a shared object but it seems that there is no good documentation.

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;code&gt;
#I am supposed to have 
/opt/perl/installsitearch/LibExt/CatGetS.pm

#I do see the corresponding .so file.
/opt/perl/installsitearch/auto/LibExt/CatGetS/CatGetS.so

&lt;/code&gt;

How can I generate the CatGetS.pm from /CatGetS/CatGetS.so
&lt;/p&gt;
Thanks for any wisdom.

J
