No. There is no standard "perl5" application. There is "perl", and there
are specific versions, such as "perl5.8.7", but the standard perl
distribution doesn't install anything named 'perl5'.

As far as I know, by default on Solaris, there is nothing installed by the
name 'perl5'. Someone, somewhere, must have made it. I can't say what
that 'perl5' thing you have is. The standard perl distribution doesn't
include it.

There appears to be a problem with /opt/tools/bin/perl5. You'd have to
ask whoever installed it why they didn't give you a full perl
installation.
I don't know the Mozilla configure script at all, but I'd expect that if
you make sure your newly-installed perl is first in your $PATH, then it
ought to find it just fine. Failing that, you could temporarily rename
the faulty /opt/tools/bin/perl5 file to something else and then re-run
Mozilla's configure.
