How old of a >VMS version does this version of Perl need to compile on? I don't know offhand whether it's available on VAX or what the minimum VMS version is, and I'd prefer not to break things without at least knowing what will break. From John's post it sounds like it won't do us any good until v8.2 or later, so I can't see any reason to try enabling it before that. I've successfully built bleadperl recently on OpenVMS Alpha v7.2-1, with v6.4 of the C compiler. Most likely some of the recent changes have broken pre-v7.0 builds, but I don't have access to anything that old to test with.
