Hi Jason,
Thanks immensely for your help! I was able to get the perl modules
compiled, tested, and installed. I also had to make some other
modifications to the compile lines (via editting the makefiles) which I'd
like to document for reference:

I can also confirm a successful install on Solaris7/gcc-2.95/perl-5.004_1
on a machine that was upgraded from Solaris 2.6.

Yep, and I also had to compensate for other symbols by using:
CCCDLFLAGS = -fPIC -DPL_sv_undef=sv_undef -DPL_na=na -DPL_sv_yes=sv_yes
in the makefiles after running perl Makefile.PL (I'll learn to use the
latest version of perl one of these days :). Incidentally, I changed -fpic
to -fPIC after getting this error during make:
LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/local/binary_installs/xerces-c1_5_0-SolCC/lib" gcc -o
blib/arch/auto/XML/Xerces/Xerces.so

No problem, INCLUDE lines can always be editted. I learned about the
HAS_BOOL from another post to the list.
After a successful compile, however, none of the tests worked and the
samples gave errors. Again, with info from another post, I realized that I
really needed to compile Xerces-C from source, pointing out that following
the build instructions *exactly* and using
./runConfigure -psolaris -cgcc -xg++
really helped. The -xg++ seemed to be necessary to make sure the gnu stuff
was being used and not solaris' c++.

And thank you, everything works beautifully!
