I see that the 1.8 WANdisco package installs some files into
/usr/local/lib64. The file

  /usr/local/lib64/perl5/auto/SVN/_Core/_Core.so

is the one that defines your missing symbol. Perhaps the problem is
that the way you are invoking Perl means it does not load files from
/usr/local? You might be able to set LD_DEBUG to diagnose the problem,
something like

  LD_DEBUG=libs perl file.pl

(run any executable with LD_DEBUG=help to see other options).

The handling of the symbol changed in 1.9.
