I had this same problem with installing some precompiled packages from
sunfreeware, such as libdb. My only recommendation is to scrap the
installed packages for anything related to perl, including perl itself.
And note that even though it says that Perl was compiled with GCC, the
options selected may be generally incompatibile with how perl works with
dynamically loaded modules. This was the conclusion that I same to,
anyways...
Build the stuff yourself. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches.
BTW, when compiling perl for Solaris 8, you'll need to do this:
/Configure -Dcc='gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/'
If you don't have the GNU linker/assember installed, then you can skip
the -Dcc option.
Once I built everything myself, I had NO problems.
-klm.
