Ed,

I think you also want to drop in File::Spec::VMS.pm from a later 
release, though I don't know whether that will solve the problems you 
are seeing.

I think the Perl script installperl is broken in 5.5_003 and I don't 
think you can simply drop the one in from 5.6.0 because some config 
item names have changed ('arch' to 'archname' or something like 
that).  Actually it may still be broken in 5.6.0 -- I patched it at 
some point and can't remember exactly when.  You could look at the 
vms-specific bits of installperl from a recent development release and

The Perl-style installation was never tested very well because a lot 
of people just use BACKUP to make a snapshot of the Perl source; the 
only real disadvantage of this is that it doubles the disk space of 
an actual install.
