I would like feedback on anything from installation to how Perl
scripts/apps work with it. I run it on a test system with Solaris 9
Sparc and in production on a Solaris 10 i386 system. The production
system is very Perl intense with several apps/scripts that are
constantly used but I share your concern how to fully test something
like Perl. :-)

If someone posted that they successfully installed the package on
Solaris X arch Y and that "perl -V" worked would help to confirm that
it's at least properly packaged. All efforts to help are most welcome
no matter how basic or thorough they are, I would like to release
these packages to unstable as soon as the stable freeze is over, I
really need the IO update myself for MailScanner.
