in reply to installing a module via CPAN

Hi,

The -KPIC flag is for the Sun cc compiler. You should be able to change it to "-FPIC" and build.

Please note that if you using the perl supplied by Sun, you will have to use the Solaris cc compiler or change the resultant Makefile (after you run perl Makefile.PL) to use the correct flags.

hope this helps
Jason
