[ID 20001121.007] Not OK: perl v5.7.0 +DEVEL7776 on VMS_AXP E7.3(UNINSTALLED)

This is a build failure report for perl from system@albert.forte.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.33 running under perl v5.7.0.

vmsperlers may be interested to know that the error that shows as:

---------------------------------------
CC/DECC/NOANSI_ALIAS /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/Obj=.obj/NoList/Define=PERL_CORE module.C
Fatal:  Insufficient virtual memory to continue compilation.
%LIB-F-INSVIRMEM, insufficient virtual memory
%MMS-F-ABORT, For target OP.OBJ, CLI returned abort status: %X00158214.
-LIB-F-INSVIRMEM, insufficient virtual memory
---------------------------------------

was overcome by upping the default pgflquo from 50000 to only 75000.

There were various informational compiler warnings issued about comparing 
unsigned quantities with zero such as these:

---------------------------------------
CC/DECC/NOANSI_ALIAS /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/Obj=.obj/NoLis
t/Define=PERL_CORE REGCOMP.C

            if (len < 0)
................^
%CC-I-QUESTCOMPARE, In this statement, the unsigned expression "len" is being co
mpared with a relational operator to a constant whose value is not greater than
zero.  This might not be what you intended.

as well as others in the re and Storable extensions.


There was one spurious test failure showed during `mms test` that looks more
like a possible vmspipe.com problem since there are only tests 1..116
in pragma/locale.t:

---------------------------------------
[.pragma]locale.........FAILED on test 117
<snip>
Failed 1 test, 95.31% okay.
u=113.27  s=0  cu=0  cs=0  files=245  tests=13257
---------------------------------------

although I ought to mention that the pragma/locale.t test runs fine outside 
of mms and I am running this system with an unusually large set of
perl accesible locales:
