> This distribution of Perl has worked beautifully on this machine for
> several months, but now does not. When invoking Perl my process just
> "hangs". Well, things do happen (lots of CPU is consumed) by no output
> is created. Even miniperl does not work. It hangs just like the ordinary
> Perl.
>
> There seems to be nothing wrong with Perl itself (sort of). This machine
> is part of an Alpha cluster. When logging in to another node and invoking
> Perl things work just as expected. I am definately running the same EXE's
> from the different nodes.

> SUMMARY:
> The distribution worked beautifully for several months
> but then someone did something with this node that caused
> Perl to "hang".
>
> For example the following example will only eat CPU and
> do nothing:
>
> $ PERL garbage.pl
>
> The file "garbage.pl" does not exist. Even this will not
> be reported. Nothing happens.
>
> On the other (working) node the following immediately happens:
>
> $ PERL garbage.pl
> Can't open perl script "garbage.pl": no such file or directory
> %RMS-E-FNF, file not found
> $
>
> I most certainly would appreciate a quick answer to my
> problem.
