- Log ----------------------------------------------------------------- commit 356230c9eb15a8a6c596eec2db1c787ccdc524ea Author: Craig A. Berry <[email protected]> Date: Wed Apr 10 22:25:35 2013 -0500 Fix post-install instructions in README.vms. perl_setup.com gets installed, so we might as well run it from where we have it rather than copying it somewhere. And we really shouldn't be recommending putting things in sys$share, even as a second choice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary of changes: README.vms | 22 +++++++--------------- 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.vms b/README.vms index 2ea6211..aabcc8d 100644 --- a/README.vms +++ b/README.vms @@ -389,29 +389,21 @@ throw a /FORCE switch on the MMS or MMK command. =back -Copy PERL_SETUP.COM to a place accessible to your perl users. +Installation will copy F<PERL_SETUP.COM> to the root of your installation +tree.
