FWIW, I'm also seeing this problem on Linux, so I don't think Solaris is 
the problem:

cpepc210-1:~ # uname -a
Linux cpepc210-1 2.6.4-52-smp #1 SMP Wed Apr 7 02:11:20 UTC 2004 i686 
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
cpepc210-1:~ # perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.3 built for i586-linux-thread-multi

cpepc210-1:~/.cpan/build/Class-DBI-0.96 # make test
...snip...
t/16-reserved.........ok 2/5Argument "Bad Taste" isn't numeric in 
subroutine entry at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/DBIx/ContextualFetch.pm line 51.
#     Failed test (t/16-reserved.t at line 27)

t/16-reserved.........ok 5/5# Looks like you failed 1 tests of 5. 

t/16-reserved.........dubious 

	Test returned status 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Scalar found where operator expected at (eval 153) line 1, near "'int' 
$__val"
	(Missing operator before   $__val?)
DIED. FAILED test 3
	Failed 1/5 tests, 80.00% okay
