Craig:
Thanks for the quick response. I've been a busy beaver, but I'm
about to run out of TUIT credits. The good news and the bad news: Your patch
applied cleanly and got past the original problem. However, I ran into another
problem further into the make cycle. The appropriate lines are included below:
MCR [---]miniperl.exe "-I[---.lib]" "-I[---.lib]" "-MExtUtils::Install" -e "pm_to_blib({split(' ',<STDIN>)},'[---.lib.auto]','')

MCR [---]miniperl.exe -e "print ""[---.lib.auto.I18N.Langinfo]Langinfo.olb/Include=Langinfo\n[---.lib.auto.I18N.Langinfo]Langinf

Let me know what I need to do to continue from this problem.
Since I also have a mixture of other VMS systems, I took the opportunity to
try to give some feedback on those.
The first is an OpenVMS AXP V7.1-1H2 running on a Digital Personal WorkStation
(early and slower version of an XP900) with MultiNet V4.1 Rev A, DEC C V5.7-004,
and MMS V3.3. Upon the initial run, it had the same error in VMS.C that I had
on my VMS 5.5-2 system. Being reasonably intelligent, I tried the same patch
on this system and it allowed the make to complete. However, I came up with 8
test errors herein listed:
t/io/fs..............................FAILED at test 31
t/op/stat............................FAILED at test 29
ext/Cwd/t/cwd........................FAILED at test 9
lib/AutoSplit........................FAILED at test 2
lib/ExtUtils/t/Command...............FAILED at test 10
lib/File/stat........................FAILED at test 18
lib/Net/hostent......................FAILED at test 5
t/pod/find...........................FAILED at test 2
Failed 8 test scripts out of 628, 98.73% okay.
I leave these failures in your capable hands.
I also have one more VMS system, an OpenVMS AXP V7.2-1 running on a Compaq
AlphaServer ES40. MultiNet V4.2 Rev A-X, Compaq C V6.2-008, and MMS MMS V3.4-3.
It configured and compiled cleanly, without having to apply your patch, however
there were 4 test failures:
t/io/fs..............................FAILED at test 31
t/op/stat............................FAILED at test 29
lib/Net/hostent......................FAILED at test 5
t/pod/find...........................FAILED at test 2
Failed 4 test scripts out of 628, 99.36% okay.
As explained above, my test time has just about run out. I have only the rest
of today and tomorrow (Friday) before I start a well needed vacation. If there
is anything else I can try or that you need from me, please let me know.
