> http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/src/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.30_01.tar.gz I do not recall if a report was sent to vmsperl on this alpha release (I do recall a confusing discussion of the absence of a false command from the VMS shell). Here are the mmk test results summary I obtain with 6.30_01 built under perl 5.8.1 on VMS 7.3-2: t/xs.................... skipped all skipped: ExtUtils::CBuilder not installed or couldn't find a compiler Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- t/basic.t 44 1024 80 10 12.50% 28-36 67 t/first_makefile.t 44 1024 7 2 28.57% 4-5 t/install_base.t 44 1024 21 14 66.67% 5-18 t/oneliner.t 44 1024 6 3 50.00% 4-6 t/pl_files.t 44 1024 9 5 55.56% 3-7 8 tests and 87 subtests skipped.

With that I can write a Makefile.PL that contains lines like: WriteMakefile ( CC => 'CXX', LD => 'CXXLINK' etc. ); and have it work using a C++ compiler (except for the fact that I have to override CCFLAGS, INC, and I also have to do this: package MY; sub const_cccmd { my $self = shift; local($_) = $self->SUPER::const_cccmd(@_); s/CCCMD = CC\/DECC \$\(CCFLAGS\)\$\(OPTIMIZE\)/CCCMD = CXX\$(CCFLAGS)\$(OPTIMIZE)/m; $_; } Which might be fixable with another straightforward patch to MM_VMS.pm, but I have not tried that out yet. With the s/Link/\$(LD)/ patch applied as mentioned above I find identical "mmk test" results. I'll try next to fix const_cccmd() and the various test failures. Peter Prymmer
