I can confirm that with MMS V3.2-01 using a compiler/OS of: DEC C V6.0-001 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-1 that it is possible to build unpatched Perl 5.8.0 on an ODS-2 volume on a fibre channel SAN. MMS test reported these failures: lib/File/Find/t/find.................FAILED at test 1 lib/File/Find/t/taint................FAILED at test 1 lib/Net/hostent......................FAILED at test 5 t/pod/find...........................FAILED at test 2 Failed 4 test scripts out of 636, 99.37% okay. The hostent.t failure is due to the Multinet V4.3 bug h_length bug for which we have not yet applied the ECO from Process. In your message you mentioned what appeared to be an old copy of MMK. I should point out to this list that Matt Madison was kind enough to fix some directory recursion bugs in MMK recently for me (the bugs rendered emacs 21.2 unbuildable - it uses recursive MMK and is far from releasable yet). At any rate MMK users may want to upgrade, I have: $ mmk /ident %MMK-I-IDENT, this is the MadGoat Make Utility V3.9-3 -MMK-I-COPYRIGHT, Copyright © 1992-2002, MadGoat Software. All Rights Reserved. But I have not yet attempted to be perl 5.8.0 on VMS V7.3-1 with that utility yet. I'll try to report back. Peter PrymmerThread Next
