You might have had PERL5LIB or PERLLIB logical names defined that caused the Perl being built to look for modules in an existing Perl. I build Perl all the time on systems that already have Perl, but I've never had trouble with the two getting confused with each other. >Well, much better, anyway - 5.8.8 built. >Test results - 10 failures. >I managed to run the first of these, for more details, but the details >didn't mean much to me - should I be worrying ? >System: Alpha VMS 7.3-1, DEC C 6.5-001 Most of these are expected and are documented here: http://perldoc.perl.org/perl588delta.html#Platform-Specific-Problems Whether to worry about them really depends on whether they are testing features that you will depend on. The chances of that seem pretty small, though, given that only a handful of tests failed out of well over 100,000. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
