Enclosed please find a small addition to vms/subconfigure.com
that turns this:

 $ perl "-V:make"
 make='UNKNOWN';

into this:

 $ perl "-V:make"
 make='MMS';

The make utility on vms may be known by two different names, neither
of which is make.  (In the old days we supported GNU make as well but
that is another story).  Non VMS sysadmin types find this bewildering
and having the name in Config.pm will help them ferret out the info
they need.

This comes close to patching near where Craig Berry's patch from
24 Apr 2000 modified vms/subconfigure.com (message 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
in the vmsperl archives at:
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/vmsperl/2000-04/msg00134.html )

Please let me know if either this or Criag's patches have trouble 
making it into 5.6.1.  After the release of that I hope to find some 
time to attend to other configure.com maintenance matters.
