Mike,

It'll be really hard to modify all of the files to have your particular
Perl installation think it belongs in /orca instead of /usr/local.

I would download and install one of the Perl Solaris binaries from

http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/download.plex

These are designed to be installed anywhere.

Best,
Blair
