||Hmm. Well, it's been working just fine for me so far. I've installed

actually it's not just Perl - I've had similar hanging problems with
compiling cvs dependancies as well:

Is there any particular benefit in running the native Sun compiler any
more? I thought so initially however work colleague says that the Sun
packaged gcc has been retro-fitted with the Sun code optimisations and
therefore code produced by it isn't as different in performance as
it has been in the past ... is that the case? I have been able to do
_something_ with gcc before today so may yet be able to use it ...
