RE: I broke it...

I thought I had trouble building 5.6.0, that it required patches, but these were included in either 5.6.1Trial or 5.7.0. It could be that I'm getting old. > -Original Message- > From: Peter Prymmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, January 29, 2001 4:01 PM > To: Dan Sugalski > C

Re: I broke it...

No, it is possible to build 5.6.0 base under VMS (I have done it); it is just not pretty. I don't remember what I had to go through, but I do remember that much swearing was involved. Just follow the crinoid directions... John Peacock Jordan Henderson wrote: > > I'm confused. I thought the i

RE: I broke it...

"CPAN works" meant that the CPAN.pm module for selecting modules from CPAN works (if I may interpret for Dan). Of course the CPAN web/ftp site works for fetching source kits regardless of whether one is using the CPAN.pm interface from within Perl. IIRC, 5.6.0 does build out of the box but fai

RE: I broke it...

I'm confused. I thought the instructions available here: http://www.crinoid.com/perl560.htmlx Were necessary to build a 5.6.0 base as available from CPAN. Specifically, I thought the "Miscellaneous Fixes" patches were necessary just to build 5.6.0. > -Original Message- > From: Dan S

Dan, Does a non-patched-up 5.6.0 build at _all_ on VMS? Or are there build patches and other patches that you are referring to here? > -Original Message- > From: Dan Sugalski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, January 29, 2001 12:16 PM > To: Craig A. Berry; Ashley Towers > Cc: [

Re: I broke it...

For starters (and this is probably the fault of the documentation), you need another empty parameter when running tests individually via test.com: $ @[.VMS]TEST .EXE "" "-v" [.lib]glob-basic.T At 11:51 AM 1/29/2001 +, Ashley Towers wrote: @[.VMS]TEST .EXE "-v" [.lib]glob-basic.T Also note
