Not only that but basically miniperl.exe would not do anything without
the patch I sent. After the patch the whole build went to completion.
I was worried that a simple binary logic error had crept in as a typo.
But thanks for confirming that it is my mind that is slipping not Charles
Bailey's fingers :-)

I am not sure that it is necessarily a dirspec that is the problem.
To double check things I went back and re extracted the vmsperl_pre56_3
tar ball using the vms qualifier /date=none to be sure that no patched file
timestamp messed things up and once again, after the single
s/use_64bitint/use64bitint/ tweak to vms/subconfigure.com I see:

I can get that to repeat from the command line. Simple things like
this work OK:
$ MCR Sys$Disk:[]miniperl.exe -e "print 'hello'"
hello
but this does not:
$ MCR Sys$Disk:[]miniperl.exe "-I[.lib]" [.utils]splain.PL > splain.com
Fatal VMS error (status=114762) at DKB100:[VMSPERL]VMS.C;1, line 4653.

Let's see what it is capable of writing:
$ dir *main.c, splain.com

Total of 2 files, 3 blocks.
FWIW dkb100 is a 9 gig drive with 10793412 free blocks (39% full) and I have
ALL privs (though I am not SYSTEM).
