Well, as you may have read in various lists, I have a few very old lowest
common denominator machines here. One is a dual Pentium II machine with
768MB of memory and three SCSI controllers, dual IDE DVD burners, externally
attached SCSI disks and a 8mm EXABYTE tape drive. If your perl software
works there then we can say that it has been seen working on Solaris 8 x86.
If it does not work there then we don't really know anything.
The same is true with a Sun SparcStation 20 here.
