I will try to change it to the other way around, that multi-user is
dependent on my service.

The perl script is executed in the foreground, it is almost the same
startscript that I use in Solaris 9 and it behaves correctly there (only
changes are the SMF exit codes) and I have set the service to transient,
since from what I undestand of the svc.startd options, transient means
that it does not care about the process after it has started, and I do
not have to keep track of this after it has been started once.

Clarification - A dependency on multi-user ensures multi-user is online
before your services starts.  The suggestions were that you add a
dependent entity for multi-user-server so that multi-user-server doesn't
start until your service is online.

therefore it goes on to multi-user-server.

If your service is indeed online without the suggested dependent entity,
then your start method is probably returning before the perl script
completes. A couple of things come to mind. Is the perl script running
in the background? Is the service declared transient? What's
startd/duration set to?
