I recently upgraded both of my Linux systems from Fedora 28 to 29. A Perl program which previously worked fine on both system now aborts with this error

The file in question (Expat.so) exists in the proper directory. All of my other Perl programs work with no problems after the upgrade. Do the Perl Monks have any ideas?
