Hi,
I'm experiencing problems with sending UDP broadcasts with perl from VMS. When the
packets exceed a certain size (I am assuming ip packet size minus some overhead) the
packet cannot be received by the clients.
Analysis with a network monitor shows, that only the first fragment is put on the net,
signalling that there will follow more (fragmentation bit). But the packets that
should follow are never sent.
The same script produces fragments correctly on WindowsNT.
A small C program (essentialy from the sys$examples dir) worked without any problems.
All fragments were sent correctly.
Suspecting a problem with my perl installation (5.00502), I compiled a new one
(5.6.1). But the problem stays the same.
Does someone have an idea?
If needed I can send the perl scripts and the C programm.
