<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>I recently stumbled across <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~aburlison/Solaris-PerlGcc-1.3/">Solaris::PerlGcc</a> which lets you use <code>gcc</code> to compile Perl modules even if the version of Perl supplied by Sun was compiled with Sun's Forte compiler. <code>Solaris::PerlGcc</code> installed without any fuss whatsoever but when I attempt to actually use it I receive a fatal error.</p>
<p>Per the docs, I'm running the <code>CPAN</code> shell as follows:</p>
<code>perlgcc -MCPAN -e shell</code>
<p>And then installing modules as usual. Unfortunately when attempting to install something as basic as <code>Data::Dumper</code>, <code>make</code> issues a fatal error.</p>
<code>
make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target '/usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib/sun4-solaris-64intConfig.pm'</code>
<p>Note that <code>sun4-solaris-64intConfig.pm</code> is not a typo and looks like a borked path to me.</p>
<p>By some amazing fluke, has anyone else used <code>Solaris::PerlGcc</code> and received the same kind of error. If so, how did you resolve it?</p>
<p>Thankies.</p>
