I can't get perl 4.036 to compile or run.



You really should be using perl 5; perl 4.036 hasn't been updated
since 1992 and is considered "dead".


Run Configure, and use the solaris_2_0 hints, don't use
the solaris_2_1 hints and don't use the config.sh you may
already have. First you must make sure Configure and make
don't find /usr/ucb/cc. (It must use gcc or the native C
compiler: /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc)


Some questions need a special answer. 




Are your system (especially dbm) libraries compiled with gcc? [y] y


yes: gcc 2.3.3 or later uses the standard calling
conventions, same as Sun's C. 




Any additional cc flags? [ -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__


-I/usr/ucbinclude] -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__

Remove /usr/ucbinclude. 




Any additional libraries? [-lsocket -lnsl -ldbm -lmalloc -lm


-lucb] -lsocket -lnsl  -lm


Don't include -ldbm, -lmalloc and -lucb.


Perl 5 compiles out of the box and comes preinstalled with Solaris 8
and later.
