It looks as if it might be getting very confused and trying to build a static perl for you (which you almost certainly don't want).

What happens if you try to install a module by hand? This will help you work out if the problem is with CPAN, perlgcc or your Makefile.

cpan> look Data::Dumper
perlgcc Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

If you successfully manage to built and install something pure perl, try installing something with XS. Could you please paste the full dialogue with error messages.

Though I use Solaris every day at work, I've never come across that module. I'm using a Solaris 8 that was shipped with a perl built with gcc. I'm in the reverse situation - being on a site with the fully fledged, licensed Forte toolkits, but having to download or build my own gcc to add Perl extensions.

P.S. Have you tried contacting the author?
