Ahhh solaris 9 huh - Yeah I have had problems installing modules on Solaris before - I have had a lot more luck with Solaris 10 since it is more "linuxy" I don't have the version module installed. Have you tried to install using the -force option? That has worked for me in the past even though the test threw some failures out. Especially on Solaris platform.

Okay updated ..I just tried to install on Solaris 8 and didn't even get as far as you did = (

I am still trying to figure this out....

# uname -a

Can't locate object method "splitpath" via package "File::Spec" at inc

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
