You may need to check your MMS$ logical names
for a rules file that needs tweaking(?).
I found that with a configure of:
$ @configure "-Dusevmsdebug" "-Dusedebugperl" "-des"
the procedure told me to run C<MMK/macro=("__DEBUG__=1")>
simlpy because I have the foreign symbol for MMK
and configure.com prefers it to MMS. At any rate I
ignored its advice to use MMK and ran literally:
$ mms/macro=("__DEBUG__=1")
and I got well past the attrs built, in fact I built
all extensions, and just after the pod stuff I saw
a most interesting error message:
Copy/NoConfirm/Log [.POD]PERLXSTUT.POD [.lib.pod]
%COPY-S-COPIED,

%MMS-F-ABORT, For target ALL, CLI returned abort status: %X00038110.
-CLI-W-PARMDEL, invalid parameter delimiter - check use of special

Which I think I can fix with a little "tweak".
I obtain the same result if I use an invokation of:
$ mms/macro=(__DEBUG__=1)
I did this with:
$ mms/ident
%MMS-I-IDENT, MMS V3.2-01 � Digital Equipment Corporation 1989, 1997. All
rights reserved. � Electronic Data Systems Limited 1995, 1997
And I specifically rsynced the [EMAIL PROTECTED] kit from
Activestate.
Hence I'll say there is a problem with MMS
and the $(MMSQUALIFIERS) macro in the write sys$output
message for telling you how to run the tests,
but I have not been able to reproduce your build
problem with this older version of MMS.
