BUG: MAKEMAKER 6.30_01 and blead in MM_UNIX.pm for VMS
In sub makefile in module MM_UNIX.PM, the command "false" is being added to the DESCRIP.MMS as part of the MAKE_FRAG text block. As there is no "false" command on VMS, this is causing rerunning a make to fail. Would adding the following line before the return $m be the fix for this? Or is something else needed to make sure only the last line is removed? $m =~ s/false\n// if $IsVMS; -John
t/io/fs.t triply linked issue - Test does not match comments
When I enable hard links on VMS, it exposed that the t/io/fs.t is not testing what the comments indicate that it is testing. The correct test would be to see if the $mode of the third link matched the $mode for the original file. What the test is actually doing is testing to see if the umask function is behaving according to the UNIX definition. With VMS, setting the umask and related behaviors into the UNIX mode is not the default behavior. I need to make a change in this routine to get it to pass on VMS when hard links support is built in to Perl, it is skipped otherwise. One option is to fix the test to actually test what it claims to be testing. This could affect other platforms, but really should not. Now should the test be testing for a UNIX compliant umask()? And since VMS by default is not set to UNIX compliant, it would need to know when that pass would be expected to pass, or to when to put VMS into that mode. -John [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal Opinion Only

bleadperl is getting: DProf.xs:140: warning: `unused' attribute ignored The following fixes it; I thought about defining a pTHX_bare in perl.h that leaves off the register and PERL_UNUSED_DECL from pTHX, but decided there really wasn't going to be a lot of other demand for it.

[perl #37102] Additional information
The problem with regular expressions getting clobbered only occurs while running Perl with the "-d" (debug) option. I believe it is the "sub()" method of the DB.pm module that contains the regular expression that clobbers the running script's regular expression as described in my bug report.

RFC - VMS behavior changes proposal
I am looking for comments on a couple of VMS specific behavior issues.
Unless there are some objections, I would like to make these changes:
1. Fix usage of HOME and a few other environment variables used inside
of the Perl binary.
Perl is assuming that the HOME and possibly some other environment
variables are always in UNIX format early in the startup of the
interpreter. When the CRTL is in UNIX mode, then this works, in the
CRTL default mode the resulting file is an illegal filename from the
combination of a VMS device and directory concatenated to a UNIX path or
file. This is apparently stored and then used every time that Perl
needs to look up certain types of files.
I would like to make the change so that in the startup, environment
variables like "HOME" that Perl expects to be in UNIX format are in UNIX
format as I find them. These tend to get exposed while I am debugging
other issue.
2. If the VMS process parse style is set to extended, then Perl will
default to having the C features for EFS character sets and case
preserved behavior enabled, once those modes are working.
3. If a way can be found to detect that Perl is running under the GNV
bash shell in the LIB$INITIALIZE section, which means %ENV{SHELL} =
"bash", for Perl to default for the CRTL running UNIX filename report
mode. And eventually assume that the GNV bash shell will be handling
spawned commands.
