Built using defaults with Compaq C V6.4-008 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-2 it passes all but one test (but then, I can't remember whether that test ever passed here...): $ mcr []perl -"I"[.blib] lib/vmsish.t 1..25 ... not ok 22 - (time) UTC:1047968311 VMS:1047968311 # Failed at lib/vmsish.t line 133 not ok 23 - (localtime) # Failed at lib/vmsish.t line 139 # UTC: 31 18 7 18 2 103 2 76 0 # VMS: 31 18 7 18 2 103 2 76 0 not ok 24 - (gmtime) # Failed at lib/vmsish.t line 146 # UTC: 31 18 6 18 2 103 2 76 0 # VMS: 31 18 6 18 2 103 2 76 0 not ok 25 - (stat) UTC: VMS: # Failed at lib/vmsish.t line 149 $ sho log *time* /sys (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE) "SYS$LOCALTIME" = "SYS$SYSROOT:[SYS$ZONEINFO.SYSTEM]MET."
