In other words... you have to compile your own perl.
Otherwise, the man is right. If you want to use the perl that is native to Solaris, you need the Sun C compiler. If you want to build your own perl, I believe there is a makefile I used to use in the DBD-Oracle readme's for HPUX. I used to use that makefile to build perl on all OSes I was supporting at the time, which included Solaris on Sun hardware, AIX, and HPUX. Wow... why did I feel moved to chime in now? I haven't sent an email to this list in years... ;-) Lincoln
