I am attempting to install Perl 5.6 on a VMS 7.2 system and am having problems with
the testing stage. Here are the steps that I have taken so far:
Obtain Perl 5.6 and upack on my VMS 7.2 system
define perlsrc to the appropriate location (including the trailing . ).
run: @configure "-des" - which completes with no problems. It directs me to use MMK
to do the initial build.
This too appears to complete with no problems. When MMK TEST is issued, the following
tests fail:
[.comp]script - failed test 1
[.op]goto - failed test 3
[.op]split - failed test 11
[.pod]pod2usage - failed test 1 - and hung.
After waiting a while after the last message, I determined that the test process was
hung and hit control-y to get control back. I've run the above tests with
"@[.vms]test .exe "" "-v" [.<subdir>]<module>.t in an attempt to get more info on why
they failed - which really didnt provide any more detail other than this:
[.COMP]SCRIPT...........1..3
not ok 1
FAILED on test 1
Failed 1 test, 0.00% okay.
u=254.41 s=0 cu=0 cs=0 files=1 tests=3
If anyone can provide any help with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
