Ive been bangin away on Solaris for a few years now. Getting functionality is fairly easy nowadays via the packages off of sunfreeware.com. Getting all the functionality you need, or optimizations you need isn't easy nor painless yet, and I doubt will be in the forseeable future. Simply due to the breadth of Sun's customer base. Since the threading is still considered 'beta' (someone correct me if im wrong there) they more than likely wont roll it out on their enterprise OS.

Moral of the story: once bitten twice shy. I have found it better when rolling something out for devel or production on a Solaris system, if that something isn't directly built into the OS, to grab the software from the originating source and recompile. Then build my own package to distribute to client hosts.

On a side note if anyone can get Net::SSH::Perl to install (with all dependancies) and run 100% consistantly on Solaris 2.7 -> 2.9 I would love to hear how you did it. I attempted it and my code would die, gathering entropy, opening devices, all sorts of whacky stuff, but on Linuxs and FreeBSD module works great.
