Solaris comes with a its own version of perl in /usr/bin.You may wish to use a later version rather than the version on it. If you do install the latest perl pkg and want to use it rather than the Sun one, you will need to have /usr/local/bin in your PATH before /usr/bin.

Thanks. I forgot, I should have figured it out by myself with command which. If perl is located in /usr/bin, then it comes as base install Smilie

Run "perl --version" to see what you actually have. It's probably 4.0.39 or something.
