In fact it is set to look for a symbol named "TEST" as of [EMAIL PROTECTED], but not a logical name. Here is a patch to add the check for the logical name: --- perl_20617/configure.com 2003-08-02 02:54:11.000000000 -0400 +++ perl/configure.com 2003-08-12 16:14:38.000000000 -0400 @@ -6348,6 +6348,7 @@ $ CALL Bad_environment "POSIX" $ CALL Bad_environment "SYS" $ CALL Bad_environment "T" +$ CALL Bad_environment "TEST" $ CALL Bad_environment "THREAD" $ CALL Bad_environment "THREADS" $ CALL Bad_environment "TIME" End of Patch. (See attached file: conf.patch) I note too that the check for the logical name "COMP" may no longer be needed since I have no trouble with a C<@configure "-des"> build and get 100% tests passing. I have refrained from making that change in the enclosed patch since we are now too close to 5.8.1 release to allow for widespread testing of it. Peter Prymmer
