I have been following the easy way out, and dropped MMS for MMK. > I use MMK almost exclusively, which avoids both of the > problems mentioned and is still available here: > > http://www.madgoat.com/ > > http://www.kednos.com/kednos/Resources/MX Yep, using a freshly-built MMK (4.1) the make finishes successfully. BTW: The link given at Kednos doesn't work; however, the kit is available at ftp://ftp.kednos.com/pub/mmk/mmk.zip $ MMK TEST has a few issues. I'll spend some time looking into these. Thanks, John and Craig, for your continued work to keep Perl up-to-date on VMS. It's much appreciated, even though I'm no longer building the Perl interpreters used here myself - mostly because of mod_perl and time issues. cu, Martin -- | Martin Vorlaender | OpenVMS rules!
