Busybox isn't an operating system, it's a userspace package.  BusyBox runs 
under an operating system (generally Linux).  Your question doesn't quite 
make sense, it's like asking whether you can install Perl on gzip, or on 
sysvinit.

By installing perl into your target system?

That's a shared library error.  The perl you installed in your target sounds 
like it's having trouble finding all its shared libraries.
