It would be nice to know more details, though, if you have time to run them individually. The numbers where they fail are a bit suspect and the test harness may not be telling you the truth; do all the BigInt tests really fail at 2319? >lib/Net/hostent......................FAILED at test 5 Are you running Multinet? I think we've now got something in README.vms about this.
