Installing perl on Sol 2.6 it hangs at the: Checking if fcntl-based file locking works

[Brian R.]

I am attempting to set up Perl in my home directory for personal usage
and I run the standard

sh Configure -D/home/MYNAME

It runs the setup fine and when it gets to the:

Checking if fcntl-based file locking works...

portion it hangs every single time. I need to get this installed
ASAP. I am using the stable.tar version of Perl 5.8.4 from perl.com.

Can someone help me??
