Looks like this is an unresolved bug in config where the fix is either to run as an unprivileged user or comment out the offending code (in this case lines 793, 794, and 795 or just look for "-o /dev/null"). This post goes into greater detail: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg29705.html <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg29705.html> Bottom line is running config as root on Solaris destroys /dev/null.

That sounds like a pretty screwed-up system. v5.8.8 is fine for the perl, assuming it's on your path.
