Dear Sir,
        I want to install perl on
Sun3500/SunOS5.7    I downloaded  perl5.005_03 from
your website and I read the file named "INSTALL" and did installation according
to it , but when I execute 'make', the following message appeared, 
would you please let me know what's wrong. I amlooking forward to your
reply

All the Best,

Please read the section in the INSTALL file

  =item sh​: ar​: not found

which describes this exact problem and the appropriate solution.

You need to have /usr/ccs/bin in your path - that is where 'ar' command
is.
