VMS::Monitor and current Perl versions

[Dr. Martin P.J. Zinser]

Hello,

        I've installed VMS::Monitor 0.0.6 with Perl 5.8.0. To successfully
        compile the module the following change to makefile.pl is required.

*** Makefile.PL.orig    2003-08-21 14:10:47.000000000 -0500
--- Makefile.PL 2003-08-21 14:11:18.000000000 -0500

*** 5,11 ****
      'NAME'    => 'VMS::Monitor',
      'VERSION_FROM' => 'Monitor.pm', # finds $VERSION
      'LIBS'    => ['-lSPISHR'],   # e.g., '-lm'
!     'DEFINE'  => '',     # e.g., '-DHAVE_SOMETHING'
      'INC'     => '',     # e.g., '-I/usr/include/other'
  );

--- 5,11 ----
      'NAME'    => 'VMS::Monitor',
      'VERSION_FROM' => 'Monitor.pm', # finds $VERSION
      'LIBS'    => ['-lSPISHR'],   # e.g., '-lm'
!     'DEFINE'  => 'PERL_POLLUTE=1',     # e.g., '-DHAVE_SOMETHING'
      'INC'     => '',     # e.g., '-I/usr/include/other'
  );

        I think the changes in Perl that require this definition
        were introduced with 5.6.0. Also, if I have not missed a
        covert update, VMS::System 1.0.4 and VMS::User 0.0.1 have
        the same problem as found on CPAN.
