I think I know what your problem is.  Perl-5.6.0 need two patches to
be workable with pyperl.  You find them in the 'patches' directory of
pyperl:

   perl-method-G_EVAL
   perl-vcroak-null

If you use ActivePerl-5.6 or perl-5.6.1-TRIAL2 then no patching should
be needed.  I just built pyperl on Solaris on top of ActivePerl and
ActivePython with no problem=B9.  We are currently working on making it
possible to simply install 'pyperl' as a ppm package on Win32, Linux
and Solaris.

=B9) Well there was one problem.  The t/thr-conc.py tests failed because
   sleep() on Solaris 2.6 does not appear to work correctly when two
   threads calls it simultaneously.

vcroak-NULL patch will fix this.
