Here's the error that I'm getting:
Starting.
We are in test1.
We are in test2.
Fatal VMS error (status=99524) at DKA100:[PERL-5_8_0]VMS.C;4, line 2514 at
test2
.pl line 4.
I also found that using `command` instead of system("command") causes this
error to happen quicker. Also I have currently changed the DCL code in
VMSPIPE.COM so it assign SYS$INPUT to SYS$COMMAND as per the work around you
suggested quite a while ago. That would be the only difference between the
official Perl 5.8.0 and mine.
One of these days I'll get around to working on the safe_spawn changes, but
so far I don't know when.
Thanks,
Michael Downey
