Summary:                    CSWperl 5.10.1,REV=2010.08.11 incompatible with Sun
Studio 11
Description: 
Sun Studio 11 is the last Studio release that is tar archive with solaris
packages. Studio 12 is a huge bourne shell archive, making it tricky to
install on remote systems. In Studio 11, I could simply extract the 3
packages and skip the rest of a half-gig distribution.

A simple program:
#include <perl.h>
int main() {}

now it fails when compiling by
 /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -I/opt/csw/lib/perl/5.10.1/CORE xx.c

The compiler reports syntax errors and undefined __attribute__ in
/opt/csw/lib/perl/5.10.1/CORE/perl.h

Also perl -V reports incompatible C flag (-m32).

It will be great to still be able to use Studio 11 with CSWperl.

Sun Studio 12.2 is not Sun Studio 12. The versions 12, 12u1 and 12.2 are
completely different compilers which should better have been named 12, 13
and 14. I expect they have just renamed 13 to 12u1 for the same reason
there is no 13th floor in some hotels. Please download Sun Studio 12 from
 
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solarisstudio/downloads/ss12-136026.html

To easily distribute Sun Studio 12 as a single package I made a script
that bundles up the complete installation and makes one large package out
of it:

You cannot make decent work with the tar-packaged compilers anyway because
you cannot apply necessary patches to the distribution.
