The error message means that you don't have the Config module installed (or at least not installed correctly). @INC contains a list of directories which perl will search for installed modules and Config.pm can not be found in any of them. I'm unsure what exactly the best way of obtaining the correct version of Config.pm for your platform is (I don't use Solaris myself), but maybe there's something in the Solaris docs that will tell you.

However:

... with a recently installed new version perl v 5.8.3

This seems to be the real problem. Why on earth would you install a 5-year old version of perl on your (apparently production-)machine? There have been numerous bug and security fixes in perl since then, so you should take advantage of them. The current version of perl 5.8 is 5.8.9, install that or at least something a lot closer to it, otherwise I predict you'll have a lot more problems.


All dogma is stupid.
