That's why we'll hard-wire installprefix to be the same as prefix. Without its being a configuration option, no one can waste time trying to set it up the Unix way. But if there is code that wants to look it up in %Config it will be there. >If getting the VMS to not break >in the face of a use of installprefix will help you then >Craig's patch should probably go in.

The interactive question was for sitebin, which is for "add-on binary programs," which I assume just means that a CPAN module may need a safe place to put external executables. Any valid writable directory should work for that but I've made it default to perl_root:[bin.ARCHNAME] where ARCHNAME is VMS_VAX, VMS_AXP, or perhaps someday soon VMS_IPF.
