Ahh, except it wasn't a VMS specific issue. It was automatic, mandatory, exclusive write locking (something not exclusive to VMS, I think Win32 does it) and a perl bug with buffering. I didn't have to add in any more code, its a basic cross-platform compat issue. So I guess what I'm saying here is I'm happy to code to the lowest common denominator, or there is no intersection to do things like "if this system has feature X, do Y". What I do not want is "if this *VMS* system has feature X, do Y." Again, without seeing the actual changes to the non-VMS modules I can't really judge. Could you post them? -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern You are wicked and wrong to have broken inside and peeked at the implementation and then relied upon it. -- tchrist in <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
