The above message contained the following:

If your perl utility was compiled with a Sun native compiler (which you
can verify via the command "perl -V") then you might be able to build
the UDUNITS package by setting the environment variable CC to the
pathname of the compiler, e.g.,

    $ make distclean
    ...
    $ CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/c89 ./configure >configure.log 2>&1

The last command assumes a standard user-shell.  You might have to
adjust it to your user-shell.
