install module problem

[John Wilson]

Hi, I'm trying to install a perl module (Net::SSLeay) on a Sun unix box
running Solaris 9. In doing the make, I get a message from the shell in
the output:

"sh: gcc: cannot execute". To me this sounds like it's saying it
doesn't know what/where gcc is.

My gcc is in /usr/local/bin, but /usr/local/bin is not in PATH. So I
edited the path to include it, but I still get the same message. But I
am thinking I may not be doing the path edit correctly because when I
end the session, the path returns to the way it was before.

Anyone know if my problem is with the PATH, or the compiler? I had also
gotten a message saying to make sure to use the same compiler as with
OpenSSL and perl - don't know if that's part of the problem.

I'm a newbie to perl modules. I'd appreciate any help.
