Hello,

I am trying to use a perl script which works on Unix system on VMS. But
there are some modules not included in standard Perl lib. The person who
used the perl script on Unix suggested me to install the modules I need
locally, because he did so.

I've downloaded the modules from CPAN. But i had problems when i tried to
install them locally. I also tried to install them on Linux system and
there is no problem on Linux. 

Under Linux /tmp, i did 

linux>perl Makefile.pl PREFIX=/tmp

then after "make install", the folds
/tmp/lib/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/xxxx, etc were automatically created
for me.

But on VMS, things are different.

vms>perl Makefile.pl prefix=disk$user:[usr.perlmod]

This looks good. But when i do this

vms>mms

I got abort messages like these:

%MMS-F-ABORT, For target VECTOR.OBJ, CLI returned abort status: %X10B91260.

May I use the same way like on Linux to install modules on VMS, like 'perl
Makefile.pl PREFIX=path'? Has anybody done the installation locally before?
Thanks very much for any help.

Regards,

Haining Yao
