It works fine on my RH 5.2 (with all updates including 2.2 kernel)
Linux box at home.  perl --version on it returns:
This is perl, version 5.004_05 built for i386-linux
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

On the Sun at work, perl -v returns:
This is perl, version 5.001

On it, it didn't work "out of the box", but did work after editing the
configure script as Tim suggested above.

HTH,
Dave
