NAME
perlgcc - Compile perl modules using gcc.
SYNOPSIS
perlgcc Makefile.PL; make
DESCRIPTION
When perl is built it saves the name of the compiler and any compiler
flags in its configuration files, and then uses these saved settings
when any additional modules are built. The perl shipped with Solaris
is built with the Forte compilers rather than gcc.
If add-on modules are built with the Forte compilers, everyting works
as expected. However, if gcc is used to build add-on modules, the
saved configuration is incorrect as it assumes that the Forte compiler
will be present.
This command provides a set of perl configuration files that are
configured to use gcc as the compiler rather than the Forte compiler.
The default configuration files are not modified, instead a replacement
set of files are transparently substituted for the duration of the
perlgcc command.
Instead of invoking "perl Makefile.PL" to generate the makefile needed
to compile a module, "perlgcc Makefile.PL" should be used instead. All
command-line arguments to perlgcc are passed unmodified to "perl".
If you use the CPAN.pm module, instead of invoking "perl -MCPAN -e
shell", you should use "perlgcc -MCPAN -e shell" instead, and use as
normal.

configuration files.
