In which case start the server under strace(1)/truss(1) or whatever the 
equivalent is under solaris and see why it bails out. It could be blocking 
due to an insufficient entropy in your /dev/random device.
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/troubleshooting/troubleshooting.html#Server_Hanging_at_the_Startup

some example of how to work with strace(1) can be found here:
