If I can work it up I'd like to put together a smaller !reproducer than a complete build of Perl and/or locate the exact !source of the problem. I have just succeeded in building an unpatched perl 5.8.0 using DEC C V6.0-001 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-1 with MMK V3.9-3 on an ODS-2 volume. Test failures were: 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. I note that Steve reported a failure to build the File::Glob extension. You may recall that there are a lot of VMS specific modifications to the build so that Perl's internal glob() does not call the (BSD-derived) File::Glob, but does call something like sys$search(). My suspicions with the trouble that Steve is seeing is that perhaps this is a different signature to the UAF limit exceeeded problem(???). FWIW I had: $ search config.sh pgflq pgflquota='15000000' which is in excess of the UAF default value. Peter PrymmerThread Previous | Thread Next
