We are running OTRS on Solaris 10.  We simply put in a soft links for perl so 
that the various perl scripts would find it.

For example we have a soft link of /usr/local/perl to /usr/bin/perl
'ln  -s  /usr/bin/perl   /usr/local/bin/perl'

The directory /usr/bin/perl is itself a soft link to /usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/perl
'ln  -s  /usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/perl  /usr/bin/perl'  (If this link doesn't 
already exist).

Once the links were established we had no issues running OTRS' PERL scripts.

I hope this helps.

Subject: Re: [otrs] Solaris 10 installation - Perl (/usr/local/bin) not found

It is the only way. You have to hand-edit the first line and correct the 
route of perl.

Al the shells (sh/ksh/bash/csh), search for the first line to check if 
it begins with the magic word: #!

If it begins with #!string then execute: string file. It is the way of 
working of scripts in unix.

Best regards
