Bug #1187: not able to install vmware tools (ESXi 4.1) on OI build 151

I tried to install vmware tools (ESXi 4.1, VM setting Solaris 10-64) do use the high-spped vmxnet3 network driver; 
but when i try to install the tools via the ESXi included perl-script as root from the installation directory:
perl ./vmware-install.pl i get only a lot of perl-errors.

It seems its a problem with the new perl-release.

(i have had also problems with my perl-installer for napp-it and could solve the problem there with disabling use strict)
