Craig,
I am not sure which of those patches made it into Jarkko's cfgperl,
but trying one of the latter ones:
http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
there is a difference between the [.vms]subconfigure.com in that
kit and the one in 5.6.0 from CPAN (configure.com is unchanged).
Oddly there is a spot with two "=" signs in a symbol assignment and there
is one or two DCL errors/missing symbols in the cfgperl@6290
subconfigure.com.
The big reason I mention the new cfgperl@6290 kit is that with or
without some tweaking to configure.com and [.vms]subconfigure.com
I obtain this unknown symbol during the build of Socket (just after the
build of dl_vms):
MCR Sys$Disk:[]miniperl.exe "-I[.lib]" "-I[.ext.re]" [.lib.extutils]xsubpp
-noprototypes [.EXT.SOCKET]SOCKET.XS >[.EXT.SOCKET]SOCKET.C

/Object=[.EXT.SOCKET]SOCKET.OBJ [.EXT.SOCKET]SOCKET.C
MCR Sys$Disk:[]miniperl.exe "-I[.lib]" [.vms]gen_shrfls.pl -f gen_shrfls.opt
Link /NoTrace/NoMap/Share=PERLSHR.EXE [.ext.dynaloader]dl_vms.obj,

%LINK-W-NUDFSYMS, 1 undefined symbol:
%LINK-I-UDFSYM, PERL_LOCK
%LINK-W-USEUNDEFSYMV, undefined symbol PERL_LOCK referenced
in symbol vector option
%MMS-F-ABORT, For target PERLSHR.EXE, CLI returned abort status:%X10648268.
I've not had time to dig for PERL_LOCK (I was hoping to concentrate on
DCL hacking :-) but I thought folks here might like to know what may
be in store :-(
