Well, I know you'd be shocked and disappointed if I didn't complain about *something*, so I'll just point out that the 'make install' tests in basic.t fail on those older VMS systems that have trouble with deep directories (pre-7.2 Alpha, all VAXen). Basically, when the current directory is "/BFD_TEST_ROOT/t/Big-Dummy/" and you do "mkdir dummy-install/lib/site_perl/VMS_AXP/auto/Big/Dummy" you are getting to 9 levels but only 8 are allowed. And there are the wish-list items of having Install.pm and Manifest.pm be case blind when retrieving filenames from the file system but still being able to match those filenames to mixed-case package names. On recent versions of VMS, all the ExtUtils tests are passing in bleadperl as long as we don't enable case preservation in filenames. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
