gepapa has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Has anyone had any luck compiling and installing the socket6.pm module in solaris x86? I have tried everything I can think of so far and in every instance I get PL_sv_undef set to no. This leads to issues during the make. I have tried with activestate perl 5.10 and the included 5.8.4 perl. I have tried using the included gcc, an installed cc and an installed gcc. All with the same issue. I have successfully done this in sparc based Solaris, both Solaris 8 and Solaris 10. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    You're messing with PL_sv_undef?
      No I haven't touched anything. I am simply attempting to run perl MakeFile.PL. It is here where it can not find PL_sv_undef.
