Hi, Jan

Bingo! The directory permission did the trick. I installed everything as 
root and then tried to access perlapp as regular user.
By any reason, there were two files with wrong permission, after PDK was 
installed:

titan>  ls -la /opt/pdk/lib
total 11528
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-11-17 18:22 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2008-11-17 18:22 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10391 2008-10-01 20:23 chklibperl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2008-11-17 18:22 icons ->  ../share/icons/hicolor
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 929609 2008-10-01 20:23 libperl56.so
*-r-x------ 1 root root 1380826 2008-10-01 20:21 libperl.so*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 262224 2008-10-01 20:26 pai
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 86172 2008-10-01 20:23 pdkcheck
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 86164 2008-10-01 20:23 pdkcheck58
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2430460 2008-10-01 20:23 pdkcheck_bundled
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2756248 2008-10-01 20:23 pdklib.so
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-01-20 05:00 tcl
*-r-x------ 1 root root 3794437 2008-10-01 20:26 tkkit.so*

As soon as I changed it to 755 for both files, it starts working for 
regular user id as well as for the root.

titan>  ls -la /opt/pdk/lib
total 11528
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-11-17 18:22 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2008-11-17 18:22 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10391 2008-10-01 20:23 chklibperl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2008-11-17 18:22 icons ->  ../share/icons/hicolor
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 929609 2008-10-01 20:23 libperl56.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1380826 2008-10-01 20:21 libperl.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 262224 2008-10-01 20:26 pai
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 86172 2008-10-01 20:23 pdkcheck

Thanks for you help,
