Hi Mickey,
I had a quite similar problem, but I had also to build a 64bit perl because
we're using 64bit informix. So I compiled perl 5.8.0 and installed it under
/usr/per5/5.8.0. Works great.
You will not be able to build any perl add on without Sun CC because "perl
Makefile.PL" will create a Makefile that uses the compiler that compiled
perl.
You could download the sun compiler and use it with the 60 day trial
license.
regards Thomas
