Robert,
         I had the same problem - but after installing 
Locale::Maketext-1.04, 1.03 was still installed - and included earlier by 
Perl! What does:
         perl -e 'use Locale::Maketext; print $Locale::Maketext::VERSION;'
tell you?

perl -V will tell you the layout of your @INC module search path:

   @INC:
     /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/sun4-solaris
     /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0
     /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris
     /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0
     /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl


I had to:
 > cd /usr/local/perl5
 > find . -name 'Maketext*'
./5.8.0/Locale/Maketext.pm
./5.8.0/Locale/Maketext.pod
./5.8.0/Locale/Maketext
./site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/auto/Locale/Maketext
./site_perl/5.8.0/Locale/Maketext
./site_perl/5.8.0/Locale/Maketext.pod
./site_perl/5.8.0/Locale/Maketext.pm

and then remove the 5.8.0/Locale/Maketext files (where version 1.03 lived). 
This fixed my problem. And then the restart of Apache to ensure it didn't 
have Locale::Maketext cached.
