An irritant of long standing has been the fact that many Perl modules on CPAN
use Module::Install in their Makefile.PL's but Module::Install has been
non-functional on VMS for some time, making the modules that use it impossible
to build without rewriting the Makefile.PL or other ex

I have Audrey Tang staying at my place this week starting tonite. This means
we have a chance of fixing the VMS issues in her modules. Please post here the
issues you're having with her modules and I'll see what I can do about getting
them fixed this week while I've got her.

I tried to install VMS::IndexedFile with CPAN - it went into a CPU loop.
I killed it, and tried again.
It crashed with an out of memory error.

This gave an RMS-F-SYN error, then spool
