Here's a quick patch that might fix the whole problem with h_errno on pre-7.1 systems. Could someone try this out (with an otherwise unhacked perl) and see if it gets through things? (It's harmless in 7.2 with Dec C 6.2) --- vms/subconfigure.com;-4 Thu Mar 2 17:00:22 2000 +++ vms/subconfigur

This will hopefully become irrelevant very soon, but if anyone is curious how badly we are faring with all the other tests, this will at least let the test suite get past openpid.t. I'm not sending this to p5p because it's essentially saying things are ok that aren't, so I don't know that it

I've tried to look a bit more into the test failure Charles Lane reported. What it boils down to is this. In 5.005_03, we get: $ perl -e "use VMS::Filespec; print vmsify('some/../../where/over/the.rainbow');" [-.where.over]the.rainbow which is what the vmsfspec.t test expects, but in 5.5.670
