Hello all,
I am trying to install Test::Simple 0.47 on OpenVMS V7.3-1 on an
AlphaServer_DS20_500_MHz Alpha

Test::Harness 2.26 installed fine, (no tests failed, some skipped).

When I do mmk (the VMS make command) test, I get this:
--- cut here ---
$ mmk test
perl "-I[.blib.arch]" "-I[.blib.lib]" "" ""     -e "use Test::Harness
qw(&runtests $verbose); $verbose=0; runtests @ARGV;"      t/*.t
Semicolon seems to be missing at  line 1.
Semicolon seems to be missing at  line 2.
--- cut here ---

And the process hangs or stalls or whatever you want to call it.

My VMS guru looked at the process state and told me that the process is
hibernating - not waiting for keyboard input, but in a different state. He
said it's an unusual state to get in, so we should all be proud I guess.

I've tried changing the "t/*.t" at the end of the line as VMS handles
directories in a rather strange way (by my standards at least), but
without success (I'm no VMS guy though), I've tried specifying just one of
the files in the t directory instead. I've tried deugging the perl command
above using "perl -d", but get in the same state.

Can anyone offer any help please? The mailing list archive at
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/vmsperl/ mentioned Test::Simple,
but not this error, and all the other posts were over a year ago, so it is
probably something I'm doing.

Thanks,
Alistair

Regards,
Alistair McDonald
