Respected Monks,

On Solaris 8 the initial version of Perl was 5.8.6 and it has been upgraded with Active Perl 5.8.8 version. Now when we try to install any other perl module we are facing the following errors : 

perl Makefile.PL
Set up gcc environment - 3.3.2

Also in order to refer to the upgraded version of Perl we have created a soft link at location /usr/bin/perl 


bash-2.03# which perl 
/usr/bin/perl


bash-2.03# ls -l /usr/bin/perl
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root  other 28 Jul 25 00:18 /usr/bin/perl -> /opt/Activ
+ePerl-5.8/bin/perl

[download]

Also set the environmental variable PATH with the upgraded version ( /opt/ActivePerl-5.8/bin/ )

Please let me know if I am doing any thing wrong or guide me with a possible solution. Thanks
