I'm not seeing any Compress::Zlib failures in blead on VMS, so John's set-up must be different from mine or the build directory needs some clean-up. > > ext/Compress/IO/Zlib/t/050interop-gzip.t requires either a shell like >> bash or use of Perl as a shell for the I/O redirection to work. > >Is any I/O redirection available on OpenVMS or is it just piping that >doesn't work? > >For example, would this work? > > system "gzip -c infile >outfile"; Not unless the gzip program had been built with its own redirection (like Perl has).
