Well, this: http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/805-6332/6j5vhemob?q=Perl&a=view Suggests that Solaris 8, at least more recent versions of it, are shipped with 5.005_03. Whether or not a particular package has been installed is probably up to the local admin/builder, etc. The Sun freeware archive also makes available a more recent version, for instance at my place of employment our Sun boxen come with 5.6.1 pre-installed but that is a local company choice rather than a Sun determined selection.
