I'm trying to build spamassassin on VMS 7.3-1 with 
Alpha2:perl -v

This is perl, v5.6.0 built for VMS_AXP
(with 3 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

But it is falling over with a complaint about the DCL command line being too
long :-

ALPHA2 System: mms all

MCR $255$dkb5:[perl-5_6_0]ndbgperl.exe build/preprocessor -Mvars
  -DVERSION="2.42"                -DPREFIX="perl_root"           
-DDEF_RULES_DI
R="perl_root/share/spamassassin"                 
-DLOCAL_RULES_DIR="/etc/mail/s
pamassassin"              -DINSTALLSITELIB=-
"perl_root:[lib.site_perl]" -Msharpbang <SPAMASSASSIN.RAW >SPAMASSASSIN
%DCL-W-TKNOVF, command element is too long - shorten
 \$255$DKB5:[PERL-5_6_0]NDBGPERL.EXE BUILD/PREPROCESSOR -MVARS -DVERSION="2.42"

ARPBANG <SPAMAS
%MMS-F-ABORT, For target SPAMASSASSIN, CLI returned abort status: %X000382A0.
-CLI-W-TKNOVF, command element is too long - shorten


(I tried MMS without the ALL first but got the same error).

Anybody else had any luck building this on VMS. I'm hoping to use it with 
PMDF on VMS.
