The "make clean" problem is probably caused by line 305 of Makefile.PL:
'OBJECT' => q[ARS$(OBJ_EXT) support$(OBJ_EXT) supportrev$(OBJ_EXT) ].($ARSVERSION >= 5.0 ? q[supportrev_generated$(OBJ_EXT) ] : '').($WINDOWS ? '' : $ARS_STATIC_LIB), The last parenthesized expression seems to be the culprit here ($ARS_STATIC_LIB = .../libar.a). It looks like it was added when ARSperl was updated to enable compilation against 6.3. The check for ($WINDOWS? ...) was added later by myself, because on Windows the reference to libar.a resulted in a linker error. Of course, on Windows it would work without the last expression: 'OBJECT' => q[ARS$(OBJ_EXT) support$(OBJ_EXT) supportrev$(OBJ_EXT) ].($ARSVERSION >= 5.0 ? q[supportrev_generated$(OBJ_EXT) ] : ''), I will test this on Linux, but unfortunately I have no possibility to test it on other Unix flavours. Could you try to compile ARSperl on Solaris with the modified Makefile.PL?
