pkgadd is one of the tools used in the Solaris implementation
of the SYS V packages model.
cf man pkgadd
For my money - it would be simpler to use the pkgadd command
on a Solaris Box.
cf also the regular suite of tools
pkginfo
pkgrm
.....
if the folks at ActivePerl have been really polite,
then they would include a simple install.sh script
that would hide most of the details...
also with solaris 8 there is the chance that 'patches'
could be delivered and you would want to feel at home
with patchadd and patchrm.
