Hi Dennis,

The most recent pca release causes an error on Solaris 8 servers thus :

You're right, I can reproduce the problem here. The File::Temp module which I started to use in pca 20091210-01 is not included with the standard perl in Solaris 8.

I switched to using internal functions instead of File::Temp in the current development release of pca (20091215-01), so it works with older perl versions again. A new official release including the fix will be published in the next days.

I am suggesting that the pca script be tested on Solaris 8 baseline
systems before release and I have a farm of servers here if you need
access.

Actually I do have a Solaris 8 machine in my own test machine farm, but as there are no new patches for this OS release (unless one has vintage support), I've been only testing it sporadically and missed out on that issue.

Thanks for the report!

Martin.
