  1. So your building environment is correct. Now, read perldelta for perl 5.8.0, search for 'LOG_AUTH', in section "selected bug fixes", it clearly tells you: "Sys::Syslog ignored the LOG_AUTH constant. "

  2. You said: "the concept of throwing away auth by default sounds foolish." On the contrary, this is not foolish at all, when you install Solaris, the default is that Solaris will toss those away. It doesn't matter whether you realize it or whether you like it, it is the default from Solaris.
