Conventional wisdom is `perlcc: Just say no.'


Simplest solution would be to just find the source (either from CPAN
or from backpan (http://history.perl.org/backpan/) if it's really
old) and compile it on RH9.


You may also want to take a look at PAR, which will let you bundle
your program and any modules up into a real executable more reliably
than perlcc (but it also can make a large honking executable).  Slides
from a tutorial at this years TPC are at http://xrl.us/ldg
