current status of 6919 with 3 patches on DECC V6.0-001

2000-08-30 Thread Peter Prymmer
OK, With my patch to configure.com and Craig's two patches to vms.c I can build but the regression test suite is all messed up and it looks like STDERR|STDOUT redirections are now not working properly. In particular I am seeing things in the `mms test` output that I shouldn't such as: [.base]c

I've been trying to build the more recent snapshots (with more VMS patches in them), if only because I am running 5.6.0 in production as of right now. I am doing only straightforward things, so I am not too worried, but I would feel much better to be running 5.7.0. John Peacock Jordan Henderson

[PATCH perl@6889] fix Storable on VMS by fixing my_fwrite()

2000-08-30 Thread Craig A. Berry
Background: Perl on VMS has an fwrite() replacement because it is easy when writing to record-oriented files to get a new record on each write operation, which is usually not what you want. Foreground: The docs to fwrite() state that it should return the number of items written, but my_fwrit

I'm shamed by Peter's diligence. Is anyone else out there building those "nightly" snapshots as a sanity check? Sometimes, I fear that VMSPerl is going under from being under manned, but then people like Peter, Craig, Dan and the two Charleses give me some hope. I guess we all need our role

In order to build the miniperl from the 6919 kit I had to use a configure.com patched with the patch I sent in yesterday: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/vmsperl/2000-08/msg00149.html unfortunately, it now dies in VMS.C while trying to build Socket: MCR Sys$Disk:[]miniperl.exe "-I[.l
