I'm trying to install to php the Perl-1.0.0.tgz package (from
http://pecl.php.net/package/perl, enabling one to call perl libraries)
to a pre-existing Solaris system.

Unfortunately, the attempt fails in a rather dramatic way, spewing out
thousands of "relocation remains"... I'm somewhat lost on what to do
next, the documentation that came along with the Perl package is
somewhat sparse. Anyone have suggestions?
