I'll take another look. I assumed I was making a procedural error somewhere
so I didn't look too closely at the section on applying patches.

You had my hopes up there for a moment. Turns out they require VMS 7.2
where I'm running 7.1-2. :-(

It's sounding more and more like maybe the patches are all I need.

Do you suppose that this could this be related to a test failure of the
VMSISH module?

I'm only trying the mixed Perl/DCL route until I can get my install of PERL
fixed up, otherwise, I'd much rather have everything self contained in the
script.

Yes, please!
Thanks for the suggestions and the help!
