Dear monks,
I run a Solaris 8 machine (sparc) at work and had problems installing DBI for perl 5.6.0 - it seems that compiling modules with gcc when the system perl is precompiled with a Sun compiler is a problem. Anyway to cut a long story short I got 5.6.1 from CPAN, compiled with gcc - and installed DBI..
Now I suffer from the following style error: 

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/apache/htdocs/mrbs/badpw.pl 
line 8.
Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains: 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5
+/site_perl/5.6.1 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/apache/htdocs/mrbs/badpw.pl 
+line 8.

obviously @INC seems not to include the path to strict.pm from this error message but : 

# perl -e 'use strict; print map {"$_ => $INC{$_}\n"} keys %INC' stric
+t.pm => /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/strict.pm

and : 

# perl -e 'print join "\n", @INC' | grep 5.6.1
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1

I'm just terribly confused - I've searched all over and not found a satisfactory answer, so I submit it to your wisdom.
Thanks in advance..

Edit by tye to replace <pre> with <code> due to long lines
