I can't volunteer to dig into this right now, but feel free to send me anything and I'll make my comments. I also had something I was working on which interfaced to $TRNLNM but I don't think it was ready for prime time; and I'm not sure I could find it at this point. I'm out of town right now, will try to look for it this weekend.

I was forwarded a VMS::Logical written by Forrest Cahoon, forrest(at)wiredaemons.company a while back. It had routines to create logical names, delete logical names. It claims to have routines to read them, but I could not find them. I thought I had started modifying it to do some more, but can not find where I had the changes. Probably they got lost in a power failure. We do need a logical name module, as part of the VMS PERL distribution that can do: 1. Create / Delete logical names. 2. Create / Delete logical name tables. 3. Read logical names. Basically the all the logical name system services. We would probably want a simple to use API that simply returns a string from a logical name. -John [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal Opinion Only No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.
