My understanding is, it is hardcoded into the executable during
compilation/linking time. You can check linked libraries with ldd(1)
command:

$ ldd `which perl`
/usr/bin/perl:
        libperl.so => /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach/CORE/libperl.so
(0x2807c000)
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x28192000)
        libcrypt.so.4 => /lib/libcrypt.so.4 (0x281a7000)
        libutil.so.7 => /lib/libutil.so.7 (0x281c0000)
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x281cd000)

HTH,

Karol
