The XS bindings need someone to add a wrapper by hand for new C++ methods.
Nobody has added a wrapper for this method, and the "Can't locate
<something>.al" is the cryptic way Perl responds to calling a
non-existing method in this case.

It's trivial to add a wrapper in this case, and I've done so in SVN 1.2
branch (r16334), so this will be fixed in 1.2.9.

In trunk the Perl bindings are SWIG-generated, and this method is
already wrapped automatically.
