It isn't perl that's at fault. Personally, I'd hit rt.cpan.org and report that it doesn't compile on solaris. But before I did that, I'd check to see if anyone else reported it. It seems to fail numerous places, but usually older versions.

It's probably expecting gcc's argument forgiveness, which isn't reasonable with the solaris compiler. It's slightly more picky. My guess is that you could get it to work by farting around with the Build.PL or Makefile.PL, but it might be some work. If you posted that in your ticket... well, then you'd be cooking with fire.
