Sorry, forgot. VMS 7.3-1 Perl 5.8.1
Got the STABLE.TAR.GZ (.TGZ) first, later I got LATEST.TGZ (for VMS). There have been some build issues with STABLE (shortening some variables names, out-of-memory) but that was probably my mistake. Didn't have these problems with LATEST (elevated privilege turned on because of that ;-)). But in both cases the errors in MMS TEST were the same. >>t/io/fs FAILED on test 33 Matter of protection, probably some error in configuration of the building environment. Consider this solved. >>t/op/stat FAILED on test 29 Likely the same, so forget about this as well (for now) >>lib/extutils/t/constant FAILED on test 3 >>I guess the MMS-file (descrip.mms) isn't Ok here?

If you are running on >an ODS-5 disk, I would also try to reproduce the problem on ODS-2 >(MMS has trouble applying default rules in a mixed-case environment). It is an ODS-5 disk, so that might indeed be the problem. I'll try ODS-2 and MMK as well. Still, I wonder why this didn't happen building PERL, it's the same disk and same environment. I would expect this to happen in building PERL as well but that went Ok (on LATEST.TGZ anyway)
