Thanks, but if anyone knows any links I'd be grateful. I've Googled every combination I can think of but without success :-( > The first thing I would try would be to see if a newer version of > Time::HiRes from CPAN has any workarounds for the absence of > gettimeofday().

Mmmm...this is where I may be revealing my ignorance :-o Given that the kit apparently builds OK generally (it looks like gettimeofday is only defined in CRTL post-VMS 7) I believe we should be able to do without it, but I don't know how to set about excluding it. Trawling through various postings suggests that even if I can cut it out of the build I'm likely to hit problems in testing. Hints welcome! Thanks
