Hello everybody.
I've managed to build Perl 5.8.0 without errors, after having obtained a recent
version of MMK, in order to overcome the problems with ENCODE.C (as investigated by
Craig Berry/Jordan Henderson in
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/vmsperl/2002-08/msg00028.html etc).
I now have some testing problems:
ext/Cwd/t/cwd........................FAILED at test 9
lib/AutoSplit........................FAILED at test 2
lib/File/Spec/t/rel2abs2rel..........FAILED at test 4
lib/vmsish...........................FAILED at test 22
BUT...
The rel2abs2rel problem goes away, if the test is run having set a default like
DKA200:[USERS.JESPER.PERL5.PERL-5_8_0]
and not
USERS_ROOT:[JESPER.PERL5.PERL-5_8_0]
where
"USERS_ROOT" = "DKA200:[USERS.]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
When running the cwd test as follows:
$ @[.VMS]TEST .EXE "" "-v" [-.ext.CWD.t]CWD.T
I get
[snip]
1..16
ok 1 - main->can(...)
ok 2 - chdir() not exported by default
ok 3 - nor abs_path()
ok 4 - nor fast_abs_path()
# native pwd = 'SHOW DEFAULT'
ok 5 - cwd()
ok 6 - getcwd()
ok 7 - fastcwd()
ok 8 - fastgetcwd()
mkdir _ptrslt_/_path_/_to_/_a_/_dir_: no such file or directory at [-.ext.cwd.t]cwd.t
line 89
# Looks like you planned 16 tests but only ran 8.
# Looks like your test died just after 8.
EXT/CWD/T/CWD....FAILED at test 9
[snip]
However, if I run it as shown below:
$ def perl_root DKA200:[USERS.JESPER.PERL5.PERL-5_8_0.]/trans=conc
$ set def perl_root:[000000]
$ perl [ext.cwd.t]cwd.t
I get:
1..16
ok 1 - main->can(...)
ok 2 - chdir() not exported by default
ok 3 - nor abs_path()
ok 4 - nor fast_abs_path()
# native pwd = 'SHOW DEFAULT'
ok 5 - cwd()
ok 6 - getcwd()
ok 7 - fastcwd()
ok 8 - fastgetcwd()
ok 9 - chdir() + cwd()
ok 10 - + getcwd()
ok 11 - + fastcwd()
ok 12 - + fastgetcwd()
ok 13 - Cwd::chdir() updates $ENV{PWD}
#PERL_ROOT:[000000.T._PTRSLT_._PATH_._TO_._A_]
#PERL_ROOT:[000000.T._PTRSLT_._PATH_._TO_]

#PERL_ROOT:[000000.T]
ok 14
ok 15 # skip no symlinks on this platform
ok 16 # skip no symlinks on this platform
Apparently, whatever happens in
$ @[.VMS]TEST .EXE "" "-v" [-.ext.CWD.t]CWD.T
in some cases disturbs the test execution.
When running
$ @[.VMS]TEST .EXE "" "-v" [-.ext.CWD.t]CWD.T
I get
1..58
ok 1 - AutoSplit loaded
# command: dka200:[users.][jesper.perl5.perl-5_8_0.t]perl.;1 "-I../lib" -e "use
AutoSplit; autosplit (qw([.auto-3389]A0_3389splittest.pm auto-3389/auto))"
mkdir auto-3389/auto/Yet/Another/AutoSplit/: no such file or directory at ../lib
/AutoSplit.pm line 328

uto-3389/auto))"<< at [-.lib]autosplit.t line 71.
not ok 2 - Output from autosplit()ing tests from the end of the AutoSplit module
..
LIB/AUTOSPLIT....FAILED at test 2
Similarly, when running AutoSplit as follows:
$ def perl_root DKA200:[USERS.JESPER.PERL5.PERL-5_8_0.]/trans=conc
$ set def perl_root:[000000]
$ perl [LIB]AUTOSPLIT.T
[major snippage]
it executes all tests successfully.
When running
$ @[.VMS]TEST .EXE "" "-v" [-.LIB]VMSISH.T
I get
[snip]
ok 18 - croak, vmsish hushed, DCL error message check
ok 19 - vmsish ERR exit, vmsish hushed at runtime, DCL error message check

For this test, it does not help to run it outside the [.vms]test.com environment - I
get the following:
$ perl [LIB]vmsish.t

It appears, that two of the four problems are somehow caused by the environment
established by @[.vms]test.com - the other two seem rather minor. I wonder: Should I
be happy and simply install the thing? I'm very tempted.
