Re: pl/perl won't build under 7.1.3

Tom and all,

I really have stopped "building from source" for most base packages and
try to use what is provided by the vendor (make's upgrades easier). I
think if we can build plperl with the static library and it works then
we should do so.

Again I will test with Solaris 8 (using the perl that is shipped with
it) and Tru64 (again using the perl that is shipped with it) tonight and
let you know if it works
