I vaguely remember your posting test failures and being unable to reproduce them. Have you tried the maintenance snapshot for what will eventually become 5.8.1: http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/70364 BTW, it's worth reminding folks that unfortunately 5.8.0 shipped with extension building against an installed Perl broken on VMS, but there are workarounds and a patch available: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/vmsperl/2002-08/msg00011.html http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/vmsperl/2002-08/msg00015.html -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
