Greg,
assuming you have root permissions on the box, you may want to look
into Blastwave (http://www.blastwave.org/).
It has a Solaris package (pm_bitvector) for this Perl module. You'll
need to install their Perl as well then. It all goes under /opt/csw
and won't 'interfere' with anything else on your box.
You'll also find development packages (make, gcc, etc.) in case you
want to build from scratch.
Hope this helps.

Hello thrift users,
we are running a Solaris 9 system where I already managed to run a
Thrift
server on (basis Java 5 with libthrift.jar).
The Thrift binary has been compiled on Windows/Cygwin, so stubs and
other
classes are generated there and then moved to Solaris.
What we need is a binding to Perl. My plan is implementing the
busines logic
in Java, then calling it from Perl scripts (we're forced to use Perl
as
client).
To use Thrift/Perl, the Perl module Bit::Vector is neceessary.
However,
this one depends on a C library and furthermore "make" and other
compiler
utilities are needed and I myself do not have access to these tools.
Do you have an idea how this can be circumvented? Is there a
standalone-version of this module, statically bound to that C
library, for
Solaris?
Or is there a way of using Thrift with Perl, however without
Bit::Vector?...
Kind regards and thanks for your help,
Greg
