Cool. That displays:

ldd ./lib/site_perl/5.12.2/i86pc-solaris-thread-multi/auto/Crypt/SSLea +y/SSLeay.so libssl.so.0.9.8 => (file not found) libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => (file not found) libc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1 libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2

So somewhere in this particular compile, I've messed up the libraries.

Thanks very much for your help!
