larry,
first off there may be a language problem about 'link to'
that we will need to over come....

I think the question you are asking is
there are a bunch of perl modules that come as
libwww-perl-5.65
how do I run them?
since that is not a 'library' in the same sense as you
would mean with say
-lnsl
in a compile time linking with library... since it does
not create and/or install any *.a or *.so files.
where I would start is with
perldoc LWP
which should start you on the way to what perl modules are
provided - and also if it is installed. It will point to
most if not all the basic perl modules you will need to
know about - and has reasonably good documentation.
if you get:
vladimir: 89:] perldoc LWP
No documentation found for "LWP".
vladimir: 90:]
then the modules are not installed on that machine.
At which point you will need to actually install the
various perl modules associated with libwww-perl-5.65,
which does work in both Solaris8 and Solaris9 - since I
have code that requires it to do stuff so i can sit here
and respond.... 8-)
you will of course then move into the need to understand the
'use'
pragma - cf
perldoc -f use
so you may want to step back a bit and also start slowly
from the 'bare bones basics' with
perldoc perlmod
perldoc perlmodlib
perldoc modinstall
since those go through most of what you will want to know
about using perl modules.
HTH...
