Hello,

I was wondering if you could advise on the case to follow.

I am trying to install a number of CPAN modules on a Solaris 9 server

uxkcdv01:/ # uname -a
SunOS uxkcdv01 5.9 Generic_112233-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240

When I am running "make test" for the URI-1.06 CPAN module, the error is 
returned
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test_dynamic'

Here is the entire output:

uxkcdv01:/tmp/CPAN/URI-1.06 # perl Makefile.PL

I found a couple of docs on the web that describe a similar case.  Here 
are two examples:
http://www.talkaboutprogramming.com/group/comp.lang.perl.modules/messages/63939.html
http://www.icdevgroup.org/archive/interchange-users/2002/msg11979.html

They suggest either to install the latest version of URI or just ignore 
the error.
We would prefer not to change the version of URI since we are trying to 
mirror an existing environment (running Solaris 8) where URI-1.06 is 
installed.

How critical is the error above?  Is URI-1.06 compatible with Solaris 9?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Aleks
