1) I am trying for the first time to install perl modules since I will be installing movable type on a Solaris 9 fully-patched box. I started by:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

and went through the interactive install. Only a handfull of modules installed. I got alot of modules that reported

cc: unrecognized option '-KPIC'

I'm using gcc v3.3.3 and get alot of errors that there are no such files for .o files. gcc was compiled with 'as' and 'ld' from /usr/ccs/bin.

The the resulting errors display

cc: no input files
make:***[blib/arch/auto/Compress/..] Error 1
 /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY THE CC ERROR HAPPENS?

2) If I try and start the perl -MCPAN -e shell again I just get a prompt.

I'm trying to install DBD::mysql and get the errors too and I need that for movable type.

3) I also get warnings that md5 security module isn't installed and md5sum is in /usr/bin.

Please Help. Thanks
