The enclosed patch exploits a MakeMaker bug fix that Michael Schwern provided a couple weeks ago. We no longer need to run the make utility on VMS with the 'all' target to build ext extensions. Hence it provides a test of the module building recipe currently documented in perlmodinstall.pod. This patch was mentioned on the vmsperl list where it drew no discussion (from which I surmise no opposition). --- vms/descrip_mms.template;1 Sat Apr 27 20:27:55 2002 +++ vms/descrip_mms.template Mon Apr 29 16:40:48 2002 @@ -489,7 +489,7 @@ @ Rename/Log xsloader.pm [.ext.dynaloader] dynext : $(LIBPREREQ) $(DBG)perlshr$(E) preplibrary - @make_ext "$(MINIPERL_EXE)" "$(MMS)" all + @make_ext "$(MINIPERL_EXE)" "$(MMS)" [.lib]lib.pm : [.lib]lib_pm.PL $(MINIPERL) $(MMS$SOURCE) End of Patch.
