The install path looks strange:
/ade/stvobadm_perl_583_build/perl/bin/Solaris/Opt
I don't know where Solaris puts their files (last version of Solaris I
used was 2.7 or maybe 8, I think), but I doubt that this is the system
version.
I have seen similarly crazy paths in the perl distributed with Oracle
Application Server. OAS sets up the environment in such a way that it
does work (on Fridays at full moon), but it is still a pain. I suspect
that this version of perl is also distributed as part of some
application and not intended to be standalone.
I agree that the OP should just get a current version of perl (I guess
there are binary packages available for solaris, or he can compile it
himself) instead of trying to beat a messed-up version into submission.
(If he needs to use perl *as part of* an application he should pester
their tech support)

It works at least on 64-bit Linux. I believe 64-bit HP-UX has been
mentioned on this list, too.
