SUMMARY: Problem building a PERL-Module

Hi agn,

thanks to: 
Bernhard Sadlowski <sadlowsk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Andrew J Caines <A.J.Caines@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Adam Mazza <adam@xxxxxxx>
Rob McDonnell <robert.mcdonnell@xxxxxxxxx>
Gary Chambers <gwc@xxxxxxxxxx>

for their responds, and several others for letting me know they're out
of office, :-))
Almost all suugested to install a second perl from sunfreeware.com in
/usr/local, and use this one instead of the bundled perl of Solaris.
I downloaded perl-5.8.3-sol9-sparc-local from sunfreeware, installed it,
set the PATH to /usr/local/bin first - and, voila, it worked!
(Btw.: perl 5.8.3 is newer than the bundled 5.6 - so, maybe it's a good
idea to use this one, :-))
Gary Chambers gave me the hint to use the perl-Module perlgcc - I tried
it, but same result as Gary wrote: Couldn't get it working...
Doesn't matter, installing the package from sunfreeware is also fine,
:-)

Thanks for the quick responses,

have a nice hackin'!

Harald
