Matt,

++. Aside from the compiler changes to Config.pm, Perl is just as it gets installed from the Solaris 8 CDs (which isn't to say it's correct, just standard). What I've found is that setting LIB, INSTALLMAN1DIR and INSTALLMAN3DIR gives me what I'm looking for. Adding PREFIX into the mix seems to confuse MakeMaker. It installs things into strange, recursive-looking directories (../lib/lib/lib, see above post). This seems to contradict LIB overriding PREFIX - it seems to append to it under 5.00503/Solaris 8. Even the dead stock Solaris 8 machine has the same problem. Hrmmmm...

*heads off to delve into perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker*

Thanks again,
