Yesterday I attempted to get a working MySQL environment to support the number of utilities we all use including mytop , innotop , mybench , mysqltoolkit . These products require a number of Perl Dependencies, and while that may be a rather trivial task under Linux and with the power of cpan , working on Solaris is a whole different story.
For the record, I’m working with Solaris 9 SPARC 64bit.
I won’t detail you with how hard it was to get to this point, except to say thanks to Jeremy, Baron and Frank so far. Here is where I’m at.
You need a number of pre-requisites, most from sunfreeware.com

Stop.
This is where the trail ends as my friend google has not helped me past this point, so I’m turning the community. If anybody can assist please let me know.
