Hi, its not producing zip files, i guess i can try that next, but you can now get .tar.gz snapshots from the web page that DO contain a more or less relevent .patch file. Excellent. Worked find for me: $ type .patch blead 2009-07-28.20:22:52 9b05e874888db731870edce844ef9f3194eafed4 GitLive-blead-1703-g9b05e87 VMS folks should note that they'll likely have better luck unpacking the tarball using the gnutar that comes with GNV than with the older vmstar utility.

It is also pretty slow. It takes at least 1/2 for the git clone to pull down Perl on my DS-10. blead, maint-5.10 and maint-5.8 (at least) are still available via rsync. Does that help? If anyone else on the VMSperl list has the time and enthusiasm to pursue this, and get a VMS machine smoking regularly, that would be a great benefit to us non-VMS users. Nicholas Clark
