You are using the solaris-provided perl rather than a locally-built
copy.

And you are compiling with 'gcc' rather than the sun compilers.

Perl modules default to compiling with the same compiler and options
that were used to build perl itself.  So 'cc' and not 'gcc' in this
case.

One solution is to download and install the Sun compilers and let 'cc'
go to town.  Another is to use a locally-built (with gcc) copy of perl.

A final way is to use /usr/perl5/bin/perlgcc as your perl for the
purposes of compiling.  That convinces the perl module to write a
Makefile with 'gcc' as the compiler.
