   Perl in S10 is built to allow for modules to be compiled with either the 
Studio compiler or gcc.  It even provides gcc in /usr/sfw.  As I mentioned 
in a previous message, I have successfully installed Perl modules into the 
Sun Perl distro using the gcc in /usr/sfw, and one that I obtained via 
blastwave.  Making sure that OPTIMIZE, CCFLAGS, and CCCDLFAGS are all 
cleared as arguments to Makefile.PL solves any compiler incompatibilities.

   NO!  Dont edit the original Solaris manifest _or_ method!  This will 
cause you great pain should you ever upgrade or patch the system.

   If you want to change the manifest or method, copy them somewhere (say 
to /opt/MailScanner, or better yet, create an /etc/MailScanner and put it 
there), edit these files, and import the the new manifest to use the new 
methods.
