Thanks rinceWind. I get the same result when attempting to install by hand.

root@blah [/.cpan/build/Data-Dumper-2.121]> perlgcc Makefile.PL

It would appear that something rather odd is going on when using perlgcc as I cannot install pure Perl modules either. I attempted a manual install of Config::Tiny just to test it out. I get the same error.

So, I've since learned that we do have Sun's cc compiler, we just didn't have it installed. So, the powers that be are installing it as we speak. That should solve my problem. Since kinda curious as to why perlgcc didn't work but I think that's a research project for another day :-)

Many thanks for taking the time to give me a hand.
