What does the following produce for you?
cc/version nl:
You might need to work around that test (although it is unclear why).
Here is a possible diff (VMS DIFFERENCES style) to affect the workaround:
$ diff [.vms]subconfigure.com
************
File DRA6:[PERL-5_6_0.VMS]SUBCONFIGURE.COM;2
3050 $ if ("''Has_Dec_C_Sockets'".eqs."T").or.("''Has_Socketshr'".eqs."T") .and. -
3051 1.eq. 0
3052 $ THEN
******
File DRA6:[PERL-5_6_0.VMS]SUBCONFIGURE.COM;1
3050 $ if ("''Has_Dec_C_Sockets'".eqs."T").or.("''Has_Socketshr'".eqs."T")
3051 $ THEN
Also, do you need 5.6.0? Can you make do with 5.005_03 or would you be
willing to put 5.6.1-trial2 into production?
