Problems installing 5_005_03

[Ed James, 410-295-1919, [EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello,

As discussed here a while back, my PERL_ROOT tree is also my PERLSRC tree.
Well, I have been trying to start over and separate the two trees.

I unzipped and untarred the PERL5-005_03.TAR-GZ into a brand new tree.
I copied MM_VMS.PM version 5.56 to [.lib.extutils] of the new tree.
I copied VMS.C version 5.4.61 to [.vms] of the new tree.
"@configure "-des"" went fine.
"mmk" went fine.
"mmk test" went fine.
"mmk install" gives these errors: (carriage returns inserted)

  chmod 444 /perl_root/lib/VMS_AXP/5_00503/CORE/lib/vms_axp/5_00503/auto.dir
     Couldn't chmod 444 
       /perl_root/lib/VMS_AXP/5_00503/CORE/lib/vms_axp/5_00503/auto.dir: 
       no such file or directory
  cp lib/vms_axp/5_00503/config.pm -
   /perl_root/lib/VMS_AXP/5_00503/CORE/lib/vms_axp/5_00503/config.pm
     Couldn't copy 
       lib/vms_axp/5_00503/config.pm to 
       /perl_root/lib/VMS_AXP/5_00503/CORE/lib/vms_axp/5_00503/config.pm: 
       directory not found
  chmod 444 /perl_root/lib/VMS_AXP/5_00503/CORE/lib/vms_axp/5_00503/config.pm
       Couldn't chmod 444

       Couldn't chmod 444 
         /perl_root/lib/VMS_AXP/5_00503/CORE/lib/vms_axp/5_00503/core.dir: 
         no such file or directory
  ...
  cp utils/perlcc.Com /perl_root/000000/perlcc.Com
        Couldn't copy utils/perlcc.Com to /perl_root/000000/perlcc.Com:
          no such file or directory
  chmod 755 /perl_root/000000/perlcc.Com
        Couldn't chmod 755 /perl_root/000000/perlcc.Com: 
          no such file or directory

Does anyone have an idea what has happened?
Does it matter?
Is this fixable by hand?

I have tried this other ways with the same results:
1. As above with MMS instead of MMK.
2. Re-creating the entire new tree, without copying mm_vms.pm and vms.c,
   running @configure and answering the questions, using MMK to compile
   and install.
3. Re-creating the new tree, copying my current tree to another place and
   running "mmk install".

Thank you very much for the help.
