Okay, okay.  So I checked rt.  It appears that this problem has been
somewhat resolved in 5.8.1.  See
http://bugs6.perl.org/rt2/Ticket/Display.html for more information.

Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, 5.8.1 isn't available for
Solaris on SunFreeware.com.

Fortunately, however, I've got it working and have no immediate plans to
upgrade again.  Ever, if I can help it.  God help me, I'm _so_ close to
convincing my multiple bosses that ditching Solaris and standardizing on
one version of Linux (which would also assist in standardizing on hardware
across-the-board) would be a Good Thing (TM) from a support standpoint ...

I have a dream ...
