It's been my experience with Perl on Solaris that the default perl 
command refers to the perl that's built into Solaris, found in 
/usr/bin/perl. I've been told that this perl installation doesn't work 
with external modules. We've had to install another version of perl, 
typically /usr/local/bin/perl, which has full access to modules from 
CPAN and those installed manually.

This may not be the answer to your riddle, since the error is talking 
about the RRDs.so file. It might be that you don't have the rrdtool 
binary library installed for the Perl module to find.

I hope this is helpful.

Thanks,
Shawn
