At this time if you have an A unified diff patch was sent in a separate message.

Perhaps I ought to have mentioned the possibility of rebuilding perl with something along the lines of: sh Configure -Uuseperlio [other options] make make test make install Then that perl "should" be able to be used for adding the OS390::Stdio extension as is. Unfortunately we do not have any reports of anyone building perl 5.8.0 like that on OS/390 or z/OS and we do not know how well it would work. It would seem that it is too much work for some folks and if I could get some feedback on the proposed patch to OS390::Stdio 0.007 I ought to be able to release 0.008 very soon. Thanks.
