in reply to Poll: Is your $^X an absolute path?

Unfortunately not on my solaris box (Solaris 8). There $^X is either relative or absolute depending upon how perl is called. 

> perl  -e 'print "$^X\n"'
perl
> /usr/local/bin/perl -e 'print "$^X\n"'
/usr/local/bin/perl
> ../../../usr/local/bin/perl -e 'print "$^X\n"'
../../../usr/local/bin/perl

    Sad but true; there was a discussion on how to fix this for Solaris, but no changes actually made it in yet.
