That should be unnecessary, as I don't think vmstar cares what the
process settings are.

That's very necessary! Since 5.10.0 or so, README.vms says regarding
vmstar, "Contrary to advice
provided with previous versions of Perl, do I<not> use the ODS-2
compatability qualifier."
renamed the perl directory,
and that's also necessary, also documented in README.vms. Actually,
it may not be necessary in 5.12.2 as I've finally fixed some of the
related problems in File::Spec, but I haven't tried it.
and it built flawlessly.
Good. I'm surprised by the build difficulties as I build frequently
without encountering them. Perhaps this area needs more attention or
perhaps I should supply binary kits since HP hasn't updated theirs in
so many years.
MMK test yields "Failed 25 tests out of 1625, 98.46% okay." with
CPANplus, ExtUtils::MakeMaker, and Module::Build, and
ExtUtils::Install
contributing 21 of the failed tests. I include the results of running
the other 4 in this mail.
I don't actually see the test output.
BTW:
1. The disk is ODS-5 with special files enabled.
2. As I did a SET HOST/LOG, TT was defined to RTA1. Deassigning it
didn't change the outcome of the perl5db test.
3. The machine runs on UTC -
"SYS$LOCALTIME" = "SYS$SYSROOT:[SYS$ZONEINFO.SYSTEM]UTC."
"SYS$TIMEZONE_DAYLIGHT_SAVING" = "0"
"SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL" = "0"
"SYS$TIMEZONE_NAME" = "UTC"
"SYS$TIMEZONE_RULE" = "UTC0"
4. No PATH logical.
