The /date_policy=none is probably a good idea. >Note also that the "-Dusedevel" parameter to @configure >is no longer necessary now that patchlevel.h has an even >numbered PERL_VERSION: True. The script as I posted it is what I've been using for perhaps a year or more and have done probably hundreds of development builds with it. The option is a harmless noop if the version is even-numbered, so I don't think I'll bother getting rid of it in my copy. >By the way, perhaps the Smoke script could be adapted >for testing out several config options on VMS? I took a quick look once and it would require some porting. However, it depends on t/harness which I think is more VMS-friendly than it used to be, so it should be doable. I just haven't found time to do it. -- ________________________________________ Craig A. Berry mailto:craigberry@mac.com "... getting out of a sonnet is much more difficult than getting in."
