So OpenIndiana is no longer a server platform for virtualization with the Nr.1 in that market?
I do not expect, that vmware will fix a problem that started because OpenIndiana moved perl.

This problem is new and OpenIndiana 151 only, not a Problem with Solaris Express 11 build 151 or OI 148.
You should care about.

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)
