Be careful while upgrading libxml or libxslt to keep your XML::LibXML or XML::LibXSLT libraries within compatible range. $work has used these for awhile and we've learned that it is not ok to upgrade the perl or C library independently without checking that the two consider each other compatible.

I've developed on Solaris for years and actually think it's quite a nice platform. When we bring a new host online I always ask the nice sysadmins to do two things
1) Install gnu tools.
2) Build a stock Perl from scratch.
Once done, I'm quite the happy developer. But yeah, I've felt your pain in the past. Just that now I know how to make things a little less painful.

I gave up on grep -r a while ago, even on platforms that supported that option, because it just didn't work the way I wanted it to or, in some cases, at all.
Ack is definitely the way to go.
