in reply to Solaris 10, FreeBSD or RHE Linux for production server Perl box?

For me, the deciding advantage of using RHE linux over the other two is that the dependencies are managed with rpm.

Also cross-compatibility of versions of different software (e.g. version of gcc library versus RDBMS version) is almost guaranteed for RHE-Linux (irrespective of the point about rpm) whereas for Sun Solaris I am yet to find how to assure that issue. I don't know enough about such cross-compatibility for FreeBSD to compare it with the other two though.
