together on a machine lacking a compiler.  I have compiled everything
successfully on a different, pretty-much-identical machine and got Perl
moved over successfully.  However, when I try to install Perl::DBI I run
into trouble.  When I do a make install, it returns

/usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed

which is Sun's uninformative way of informing you that you don't have a
proper compiler installed.  I cannot install the compiler on this system
because we don't have a license for it and we cannot use gcc as it conflicts
with other software.  There's no reason for it to compile as everything is
already built.  I think it's a timestamp issue.

I looked through Makefile and Makefile.PL and couldn't find any obvious way
of doing it.  The guys on #perl suggested making a package, but I'm not sure
how to do that.

Why don't you just tar up /usr/lib/perl or /usr/local/lib/perl ( whichever is appropriate) and move it over?
You will need to install the Orrible libraries as well : -)
Just use the same version that you used on the machiine that you compiled all this on.
