[pca] Perl warnings on X86

[Glenn Satchell]

Make sure /usr/bin/perl is a symlink to the Solaris perl, like this:

% ls -l /usr/bin/perl
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          23 Feb 17  2005 /usr/bin/perl -> 
../perl5/5.8.4/bin/perl

Otherwise try downloading it again (don't do a cut and paste, but rather 
right click and Save As) in case it is corrupted, or has carriage 
returns in there as well as newlines for end-of-line?
