I am trying to install PAR on Solaris 2.6 running Perl 5.8.0. I am getting 
the following error:

# perl Makefile.PL
*** ExtUtils::AutoInstall version 0.54
*** Checking for dependencies...

*** ExtUtils::AutoInstall configuration finished.

seek
Fetching failed:
No compiler found, won't generate 'script/parl'!
Writing Makefile for PAR

What exactly does the "Illegal seek" and "No compiler found" mean?  I am 
able to compile and install other perl modules just fine.

This is the latest version (0.76_98).  I am able to install PAR fine on a 
different machine running Solaris 8, and perl 5.6.1.

thanks,
-Randy
