Thanks for the info!
We are looking into contacting the author of the module, seems there are other issues to consider with this. Seems to be a version difference in the module on CPAN (0.02) and that which comes pre-installed on Solaris 2.8 (1.0). We got it to compile on one of our other boxes but doesn't work. So we are looking to upgrade our version of perl (YES!), and do some testing to see if it is us or the source at fault. Hopefully we can give you an update on what we find.
Thanks again!!!
