Problem: Makefile always uses gcc compiler
------------------------------------------

Apologies if this is simple for gurus. I'm pretty happy writing Perl, but
building/installing source libraries is a black art to me.

I'm trying to install DBI on a Solaris 2.9 box. I have the Forte C compiler
installed and in my path. However the Makefile.PL seems to ignore this and
hard-code the use of gcc, which I don't have installed.

1) Is DBI actually dependent on gcc?? Do I have no option but to install
   the gcc compiler?

2) If the answer is "no", how and where do I configure the Makefile.PL to
   use the Forte compiler. To a relative newbie it's not obvious...

Thanks: V. Incans
