I received alot of help/recommendations/etc...from the people listed below.
Basic solution for Perl was to install v5.0. Install was very easy with no
modifications necessary. For News, the recommendation was INN 1.4. Here were
notes/suggestions for an install of Perl v4.x on Solaris2.x:
1. Take "/usr/ucb" out of your PATH.
2. Do not use any BSD/UCB libraries.
3. Only -lsocket, -lnsl and -lm are needed. (There is apparently
a problem with -lmalloc also.)
4. Do not use "-I/usr/ucbinclude".
5. Do not use vfork.
6. Hints for Solaris 2.0 are actually better than 2.1 .
7. If you use cc, do not use the -O flag on util.c/tutil.c .
Thank you all for the help:
