I would guess you use the Win32::OLE to communicate with some program, right? Do you expect to find the same program under Solaris? OLE (or rather the underlying COM) is a Windows specific protocol. Wikipedia says that "Although the interface standard has been implemented on several platforms, COM is primarily used with Microsoft Windows." and I don't think you'll find it supported by Solaris. If you just need to test the script while it will end up being used under Windows and only have a Solaris machine you'll have to use some Windows emulator to run the Windows version of Perl, the script and the program you want to communicate with.
