[rescue] OK, this got me there!!! Re: Solaris 11 package conflicts

[Jerry Kemp]

Hello again Phil,

another partial, but successful answer.  I didn't figure this out on my own.

Fired up duckduckgo.com and searched for 'Solaris 11 perl 522 upgrade'

came across this link

<https://serverfault.com/questions/786711/trying-to-install-golang-on-a-solaris-11-3-vm>

which pointed to this link

<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26502_01/html/E28984/gmias.html#scrolltoc>

I fired up a Solaris 11.3 vm in virtual box to play with this.

Not a straight forward answer, but I now have a stock Solaris 11.3 x64/x86 
install that is upgraded to perl 5.22.x

Note, these are copy-n-paste from the virtualbox window.

hope this helps, good luck.

Jerry
