Is there an eaaasy instruction for installation. There is
already v.5.8.4 installed.

In order of ease:
1. Hire someone to install it for you.
2. Use ActiveState's binary distribution
2.1 go to http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/
2.2 click "Get ActivePerl"
2.3 click download
2.4 (optional) fill out info
2.5 click continue
2.6 click pkgadd under your version of Solaris (SPARC or x86)
2.7 login as root
2.8 use the package tool to install (pkgadd name_of_downloaded file)
2.9 (optional) buy support from ActiveState
3. compile from source
3.0 make sure you have an ANSI C compiler
3.1 download http://www.cpan.org/src/stable.tar.gz
3.2 decompress the file (gzip -dc stable.tar.gz | tar xvf -)
3.3 change directory into the top level of the source code (cd perl-*)
3.4 type rm -f config.sh Policy.sh
3.5 type sh ./Configure -de
3.6 type make
3.7 (optional, but good idea) type make test
3.8 login as root
3.9 change directory back to the directory you built perl in
3.10 type make install
