Actually, that's http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=693 at least when not logged in. >The patch can go two ways.

That's a good question. The core Makefile for VMS (vms/descrip_mms.template) scrupulously avoids continuation lines, but I don't know why. I will see if I can find anyone on vmsperl who remembers. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
