No I do not (see below) and have not been able to get rid of this messages yet. How do I track down what Perl is really trying to do here? Incidentally perl_root:[lib]/ does look kind of weird, doesn't it? (Side remark: That happens with both ODS-2 and ODS-5 disks for the DBI module perl_root is on an ODS-5 disk.) > > >Running mkbootstrap for DBI () > >Copy/NoConfirm DBI.bs [.blib.arch.auto.DBI]DBI.bs > >Can't open [.blib.man1]dbiprof.pl.rno for writing: i/o error > > at -e line 2 > >%SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort > >Can't open [.blib.man1]dbiproxy.pl.rno for writing: i/o error > > at -e line 2 > >%SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort > > > >This on the other hand looks not so good... > > That happens because of the two dots in the filename of this and I > think one other file in DBI.

Well, the easy solution (that actually works) to this one is to move the build to an ODS-5 disk, where the files can be created that way. > > >Any advise? > > The latest MakeMaker should be the best yet on VMS but I doubt if it > will help with the specific problems you are seeing. > > It looks like you may have actually gotten a successful build despite > the problems. Did you run "MMS test"? > MMK test actually indicates that the build went ok, good advise! Now the second part of the question: Anybody already had a look at DBD::MySQL?

Shold we stick our heads together with Mr. Freeware CD to see if we can get a nice collection of Perl Modules on there for V6? Greetings, Martin Dr. Martin P.J.
