The only thing that you'll be locked into at the moment is the need to
use the same compiler as Perl itself was compiled with -- Sun Studio
11.  Other than that, you should be able to use CPAN/CPANPLUS (coming
soon) to add any additional modules.  Of course, if you're doing a lot
of clean installs, you would need to package your locally built
modules yourself... so making a package request, as was separately
requested, is probably better.
