We use perl and sybperl/DBD::Sybase extensively here on a variety of
platforms (hence the use of both sybperl and DBD::Sybase).
By far, the easiest platform to deal with for us has been Solaris. No
problems building perl or adding modules.
I think make, etc., might be in /usr/ccs/bin/ if you installed that
package, but we tend to use other versions. I've found the stuff on
sunfreeware.com to be easy to install and reliable. It's built for
several different Solaris versions.
Hope that helps.
John

The only reason to use active perl was to avoid the mess of going
through
downloading the tar and doing make and make install as I don't have
those
utilities on solaris. I thought it will be easy to do with ppm.

Do you really have a need to use ActiveState's perl on Solaris?
Personally I'd build perl and its modules from scratch...
However, to answer your question - ActiveState unfortunately doesn't
maintain a full database of precompiled binaries for all versions of
perl that it maintains.
This means that you will have to build sybperl manually - download the
tar.gz file from CPAN, and then read the instructions in the README.
You'll need the same compiler that ActiveState uses - you can check
this via perl -V.
