It has been a while since I have dealt with solaris, but here is what I know. Perl is letting you know that it can't find the compiler it was built with. Sun charges a princely sum for their compiler suite. I'm not even sure what the official product name is anymore, they periodically change.

There are two solutions I know of.
1) Purchase/install sun compiler suite.
2) Install a Solaris freeware Perl package which was built using gcc (they all are). Then install the Solaris freeware gcc package (and it's friends). Please note that you will then have two versions of Perl on the machine. The usual location for the second is /usr/local/bin/perl. So you should make sure you are calling/using the right version. I have been told not to remove the version included with Solaris due to dependencies.

There are further resources regarding this on the web, including this site.
