Fellow monks,

With much recent talk about PAR, pp and tkpp, I decided to give it a try. So I installed all the required modules and now am trying to install PAR-0.85 itself. However, I am running into this problem 

% perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/pgrinber/perl_lib
*** ExtUtils::AutoInstall version 0.59
*** Checking for dependencies...

Looks good

Any ideas on what's wrong with my setup? FYI, I'm building this on Solaris.

Update Line 67 of internals.c is

#if (PERL_REVISION == 5 && PERL_VERSION == 8 && PERL_SUBVERSION >= 1) 
+|| \
    (PERL_REVISION == 5 && PERL_VERSION >= 9)
        /* 5.8.1 and later perl versions no longer copies fakeargv, si
+gh */

And my perl is ActiveState v5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris-thread-multi
