[ID 20001129.007] Not OK: perl v5.7.0 +DEVEL7928 on VMS_AXP V7.1(UNINSTALLED)

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


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

On the initial run of `mms test` I saw:

[.lib]filter-util.......FAILED on test 2

[.lib]net-hostent.......FAILED on test 4

I think that Charles Lane has a patch for the former and here is
something for the latter (warning: not tested on any other platform).
Interestingly enough, if I run @perl_setup (with the prefix set to
the build directory hence my resulting PERL_ROOT logical points to
an OK PERL_ROOT:[LIB] directory) I get all tests including lib/filter-util.t
to pass after application of this patch (further evidence that Charles Lane 
was correct after all about the double quote issue):
