RE: Can't locate DBI.pm

My problem is:
To install perl it is asking cc
I downloaded gcc from freeware,
To install gcc: if I have cc in path it is giving " /usr/ucb/cc:
language optional software package not installed" error.
If I don't have cc in the path it is saying cc not found.

I am not sure what is wrong.

It looks like you have a fresh install of Solaris 9, not a fresh install

of perl.
"v5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris-64int" is the version that comes with
Solaris 9,
which was built by Sun using a Sun C compiler and installed, I assume,
as
/usr/bin/perl.

You have two options.

1) Spend money. Buy and install the Sun C compiler that was used to
build
the perl that came with Solaris 9. Then build DBI with that C compiler.
You
do not have the C compiler as evidences by "/usr/ucb/cc: language
optional
software package not installed".

2) Save money. Download and install gcc. Download the source version of
perl. Check out README.solaris. Install the downloaded source version
of perl into /usr/local, but leave the Sun compiled version in /usr.
Some of
the Solaris utilities depend upon that version, but the path is
hard-wired
into the programs, so as long as /usr/local/bin is in your path before
/usr/bin,
you can run the version you install, and the Solaris utilities use their

version.
Install DBI and any other perl modules you may need.
