It does not ring a bell for me but I had not heard of the "Open Perl IDE" until you broght the issue up on this list. I went to the page at: http://open-perl-ide.sourceforge.net/ And from there I found a link to an announcement at: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=251666 The text within the last announcement mentions that: Posted By: jguentherodt Date: 2003-02-11 17:56 Summary: Open Perl IDE now supports Perl 5.8 Open Perl IDE's debug template script has been made Perl 5.8 compatible and can be downloaded here: -http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/open-perl-ide/Perl5.8_patch.zip?download The script has been successfully tested with these distributions under Windows 98/2000/XP: -ActivePerl 5.6.1 builds 626, 628, 629, 631, 633 -ActivePerl 5.8.0 builds 802, 804 -IndigoPerl 5.6 (24Feb01) -SiemensPerl 5.6.1 (10Apr01) -SiemensPerl 5.8.0 (29Oct02) I think that means it is now fixed. I think that problems with the "Open Perl IDE" are unlikely to affect MVS very much since the "Open Perl IDE" is apparently largely written in Delphi/Kylix and the stated supported environment is Win32 MS Windows. I do not think that Delphi has been ported to MVS. For future reference I suppose that you could get a quicker response to a discussion about bugs in the Open Perl IDE if you mailed to the open-perl-ide-user mailing list for which there is information at: http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=23334 good luck.
