The softlinks should not be a problem. How much disk IO is going on on this box? it is possible this is your bottleneck, been a while since I have admined a sun box but if I remmeber right you might conisder looking at vmstat and tunefs to retune the file systems involved.
You also might consider compiling your own version of perl, it is a relatively simple compile, although to be safe you might want to recompile all of your installed modules at the same time. Solaris was fairly picky about the order of the lib path also when compiling software using gcc, so you will need to make sure you know what you are doing in this regard. You can also try removing the softlinks but I do not see why this would be an issue at all.
