Bradley S. Huffman ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 4 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description Response to Bug Report #37 Long Description It's not Makefile.PL that produces the SUN compiler options "-KPIC -xO3 -depend", but SUN's pre-install version of perl. If you use gcc on a SUN you might want to download/re-install perl or modify /usr/perl5/5.005_03/sun4-solaris/Config.pm and change the lines containing "cccdlflags" and "optimize" to options appropiate for gcc ( '' for both works).
