I’m having trouble install Perl Module in my Solaris 10 server. I did it the usual way
– perl Makefile.pl
– make
– make test
– make install
Sometimes it fail.
After googling around, I found many people have the same problem. It turns out Perl-on-Solaris have its workaround for this kind of problem. You guys can do this next time you install Perl Module on Solari
– /usr/perl5/bin/perlgcc Makefile.PL
– /usr/sfw/bin/gmake
– /usr/sfw/bin/gmake test
– /usr/sfw/bin/gmake install
Here is my Solaris version:
-bash-3.00$ more /etc/release
Solaris 10 11/06 s10s_u3wos_10 SPARC
 Â
And the Perl version:
-bash-3.00$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.4 built for sun4-solaris-64int
(with 28 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
Have fun you guys!

Hi,
When i untarred the zip file, i dont see any Makefile.pl file. What do i do?

Hi Neeraj,
I know this is a very old post, but I’ll share the possible solution for the benefit of anyone else having the problem of the missing Makefile.pl.
I found this occurred because I didn’t upload the Perl-module tar.gz file using the “Binary” transfer method. Once I explicitly chose to upload it using the “Binary” transfer method, then I saw that it was extracting correctly. Then when I extract the file I found that all expected file including Makefile.pl now exist.

I am really loving the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A handful of my blog visitors have complained about my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any solutions to help fix this problem?
