When you use Solaris 10, you must execute the following command as root to get ANYTHING from CPAN to build:
perl -MCPAN -e 'force install("Scalar::Util")'
Otherwise there is no .XS support, and you are so screwed.
Can you build CPAN modules with GCC against the version of perl they distributed? In Solaris 9 the idiots built all their stuff against their commercial compiler and so you pretty much had to throw it all away.
