Seems to work on an ancient Solaris 10 SPARC system (with the built-in perl version as far as I know):
[titan : /etc : 3 ] cat release

This is perl, v5.8.4 built for sun4-solaris-64int
(with 47 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

pca 20190715-02
I used pca to update the system to the current level about 15 days ago. Worked
OK then and doesn’t find anything to download this morning. Granted this is a
really old SPARC system - we do have 11.4 on newer intel machines but don’t use
pca there.
