The test scripts: ext/Compress/Zlib/t/05examples.t and ext/Compress/IO/Zlib/t/010examples.t are both failing on OpenVMS apparently because they can not find the file: auto/Compress/Raw/Zlib/autosplit.ix. The only place I can find a like file is in auto/Compress/ZLIB/autosplit.ix. ext/Compress/IO/Zlib/t/050interop-gzip.t requires either a shell like bash or use of Perl as a shell for the I/O redirection to work. -John wb8tyw@qsl.net Personal Opinion Only EAGLE> mcr [-]ndbgperl "-I[-.lib]" [-.ext.compress.zlib.t]05examples.t Can't locate auto/Compress/Raw/Zlib/autosplit.ix in @INC (@INC contains: t t/compress ../lib lib/compress) at ../lib/AutoLoader.pm line 160. at ../lib/Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm line 6 1..26 ok 1 - gzcat - command line ok 2 - exit status is 0 not ok 3 - no stderr # Failed test ' no stderr' # in [-.ext.compress.zlib.t]05examples.t at line 98. # got: 'Can't locate auto/Compress/Raw/Zlib/autosplit.ix in @INC (@INC contains: t t/compress ../lib lib/compress ../lib perl_root:[lib.VMS_AXP.5_9_4] perl_root:[lib] perl_root:[lib.site_perl.VMS_AXP] perl_root:[lib.site_perl] /perl_root/lib/site_perl .) at ../lib/AutoLoader.pm line 160. # at ../lib/Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm line 6 # ' # expected: '' mcr [-]ndbgperl "-d" "-I[-.lib]" [-.ext.compress.IO.Zlib.t]050interop-gzip.t DB<6> x open F, "| $gzip" 0 271687.tmp: no such file or directory DB<7> x $gzip 0 '/bin/gzip -c >tst00000.tmp' DB<8>
