> 2) On the FIRST, and ONLY on the first, invocation of INSTMOD.COM, > I get the following warning in MMS: > ... > %MMS-W-MBREDEFILL, Illegal attempt to redefine macro INSTALLDIRS. not especially VMS-Perl related, but thought I'd point out that when working w/ a make script that redefines macros, and when MMK is not avail, the newer versions of MMS will tolerate macro redefines, if used w/ the /EXTEND qualifier. MMS /EXTENDED_SYNTAX /EXTENDED_SYNTAX /NOEXTENDED_SYNTAX (D) The /EXTENDED_SYNTAX qualifier instructs MMS to enable the extension of MMS syntax, providing for the following: o Use of predefined MMS functions. o Macro redefinition. o Nested macro expansion. To enable the /EXTENDED_SYNTAX qualifier in DECwindows MMS, check the Extended Syntax check box in the Build Definitions/Directives Options dialog box. The /EXTENDED_SYNTAX qualifier will be used to include all future extensions to the MMS syntax. The inverse qualifier, the default /NOEXTENDED_SYNTAX, will continue to support the syntax of MMS Version 3.2.
