Ah, I'm sorry to be messenger of band news then. Pity I haven't seen
the ARC case to speak up earlier. I hope that we won't find any
dependency between those modules and ONNV gate ...

I see. To me it would make sense, if customer could override perl
modules by placing them into site_perl. Hopefully it won't break
anything. I just wonder that the patch says '/usr/local/lib/...'
35 +#ifndef PRIVLIB_EXP
36 +# define PRIVLIB_EXP "/usr/local/lib/perl5:/usr/local/lib/perl"
37 +#endif
We don't have anything in /usr/local/lib, but maybe PRIVLIB_EXP is
defined earlier, so it wont' pick those paths.
However, please, once you'll be testing new perl, try that the @INC is
sane for normal and tainted mode. Something like:
$ perl -T -e 'print join "\n", @INC'
/usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/i86pc-solaris-64int
/usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib
/usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i86pc-solaris-64int
/usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4
/usr/perl5/site_perl
/usr/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4/i86pc-solaris-64int
/usr/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4
$ env - perl -e 'print join "\n", @INC'
/usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/i86pc-solaris-64int
/usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib
/usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i86pc-solaris-64int
/usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4
/usr/perl5/site_perl
/usr/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4/i86pc-solaris-64int
/usr/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4
/usr/perl5/vendor_perl
I'm quite sure you already hate me, but have you seen my comments about
config.sh? I believe that few configuration options are wrong there...
Good luck!
