You can also get Perl 5.8.0 built for Soloris 9 from http://www.sunfreeware.com.

Just use pkgrm on the old packages (on my system it's SUNWpl5p, SUNWpl5p and SUNWpl5m).
Then you can 'pkgadd -d <newPerl>'.

While you're there, get 'tar' because the Solaris version has a problem and you can also do '-xzf' to untar gzipped tars without having to 'gunzip' them first.
