Hi, I would like to add t/ran_tests handling to the VMS Makefile, but when I looked at the current implementation I realized that at 9 characters the generated file is just over the 8.3 limitation of DOS/FAT16. Hence I propose the following modification to the only two files that currently mention this generated marker file: Makefile.SH and installperl. I would appreciate hearing if this works OK on DOS/djgpp - bash, GNU make, gcc et alia; and also if this is deemed acceptable to the 5.7.0 codeline since my modifications to vms/descrip_mms.template will need to distinguish the proposed '[.t]rantests.' from the "current" '[.t]ran_tests.' Thanks in advance for any feedback.
