MakeMaker has a macro called DEV_NULL which is tacked onto the end of shell commands to supress their output.
On Unix its defined as '> /dev/null 2>&1' On Windows its simply '> NUL' MM_VMS doesn't have a definition for DEV_NULL. Is there an equivalent? Hopefully one that goes on the end of a command and not the front. -- Michael G.
