I'm running into a problem trying to install Koha on Solaris 9. Here is the output which is torturing me:

WELCOME TO THE KOHA INSTALLER
This program will ask some questions and try to install koha for you. You need to know: where most koha files should be stored (you can set the prefix environment variable for this); the username and password of a mysql superuser; and details of your library setup. You may also need to know details of your Apache setup.
If you want to install the Koha configuration files somewhere other than /etc (for installing not as root, or to have many Kohas on one system, for example), you should set the etcdir environment variable. Please look at your manuals for details of how to set that.
Recommended answers are given in brackets after each question. To accept the default value for any question (indicated by []), simply hit Enter at the prompt.
Note that you also can define an auto_install_file, that will answer every question automatically. To use this feature, run ./installer.pl -i /path/to/auto_install_file
Are you ready to begin the installation? ([Y]/N): y Great! Continuing...

MISSING PERL MODULES
You are missing some Perl modules required by Koha. Please run this again after installing them. They may be installed by finding packages from your operating system supplier, or running (as root) the following commands:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install "MARC::File::XML"'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install "You will need Net::LDAP if you want to authentify patrons through a LDAP"'
cedar:/usr/local/src/koha/koha-2.2.8# perl -MCPAN -e 'install "MARC::File::XML"' CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.13) Going to read /.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Mon, 23 Apr 2007 13:09:44 GMT MARC::File::XML is up to date (0.85). cedar:/usr/local/src/koha/koha-2.2.8#
The MARC::File::XML, as you can see, is installed and up-to-date, but the installer continues to warn about it (and die). Any suggestions from others who have been there?
