We did an install of Activestate on a solaris box b/c they didn't have
a good existing version at the time. And, ppm is a bit easier
to do installs of modules (in my opinion).
But, have you tried using straight up CPAN?
perl -MCPAN -eshell
install Sybperl
Some perl modules will always take a bit of manipulation by hand. Its
just a fact of life (Try loading up the GD module sometime...)
Read the README file and usually the changes (if required) are
straight forward.
