Difference between perl and perl_s


What is the difference between the following two perl packages?

perl-5.8.0-sol9-sparc-local.gz
perl_s-5.8.0-sol9-sparc-local.gz

What does the extra '_s' in perl_s stand for? And where can one find
such information (the difference between perl and perl_s packages)? A
search on the group's archives did not work. And a search on the
internet did not work either. Clicking on the package name on
sunfreeware site starts the download without any 'about' powertip.

TIA.
