Martin Borgman of the Open Office on VMS team sent me this information about a problem he had running Perl.

Because he also needs to run Java, his session has the logical name
DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE defined as "ENABLE".

When this is set, the unquoted parameters are passed in exact case to perl, and not converted to lower case.

He found this problem and there may be some others, and it looks like in this case it should not be too hard to patch the configure.com to fix this.

For PERLDOC, the resulting symbols need the -t to be in quotes in one of these two ways:

$ PERLDOC :== -
   $PERL_ROOT:[000000]PERL.EXE PERL_ROOT:[LIB.POD]PERLDOC.COM "-t"

$ PERLDOC == -
  "$PERL_ROOT:[000000]PERL.EXE PERL_ROOT:[LIB.POD]PERLDOC.COM -t"

-John
