I wrote a new little threading script on my Linux box, but when I tried to run it on my Solaris 8 sparc box, I had realized that I forgot the "Thread::Pool" module I was using. I tried to install it with CPAN and I had problems. The package just would not install. The Perl on the Solaris box it the package you get off of www.sunfreeware.com (5.8). Maybe new perl thread are not turned on by default. Do I need to compile my own version?? Any ideas?? (AKA HELP!! hehe) 
I am posting a 'perl -V': to see if that will help:
bash-2.05# perl -V
