The docs are misleading for some of the calls. entry_info returns a hash
reference, which was what I was trying to indicate in the summary, but it
really isn't at all clear. (Plus it's syntactically meaningless...)
Change that to:
$entryprop = VMS::Queue::entry_info($entries[0]);
print $entryprop->{JOBNAME};
and I think you'll find it works better.
I'll update the docs and see about getting a new version on CPAN soon.
(And, FWIW, I found out why none of the VMS modules show up on
search.cpan.com--that might get fixed soon)
