When using CPAN modules I normally use my own perl installation. It doesn't matter if it's opensolaris, solaris 10 or linux. Otherwise module dependencies are really difficult to work out. How to properly create an IPS or SYSV package for DBD::Oracle? Another problem is CPAN dependency checking: Some module needs a newer version of an existing packaged perl module. What would be the proper way of installing through the system packaging system? No such problems with a self compiled perl.
