Perl (not PERL), is a language, DOS (capitals for this one) is an operating system. You don't use them for the same purpose. If you have had 22 years of experience I am sure you will have read the odd [http://search.cpan.org/src/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.8/INSTALL | installation file]. Have you managed to find the file you downloaded? From looking at your previous post, you don't get DOS on Solaris (well perhaps an emulator), so you want to open a terminal window on whatever graphical desktop you are running and follow the instructions from [http://search.cpan.org/src/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.8/INSTALL | installation file]. I recently built Perl on Solaris 10, so if you can provide sensible information (what stage you are at? Have you unpacked the tar file? Got a compiler installed...) let me know where you are at with this, and what you cant do.
<br><br><b>Update:</b> Also check out the [http://search.cpan.org/src/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.8/README.solaris | README.solaris] file.
