Since no one stepped forward to do any VAX testing during the very long release candidate cycle for 5.8.2, it's not that surprising we'd encounter problems. However, it looks like you did get a successful build, so that's good news. > >Perl 5.8.2: > >t/base/cond..........................ok >t/base/if............................ok >t/base/lex...........................ok >t/base/num...........................FAILED at test 47 >Failed a basic test--cannot continue. This would very likely have something to do with a test that expects a floating point range outside of what can be done with D_FLOAT, which is the default on VAX. Details of the test failure would be helpful, which you can obtain by running this from the top of your build tree: $ @[.vms]test .exe "" -"v" [.base]num.t You may have better results building with G_FLOAT rather than D_FLOAT. See the section entitled "Floating Point Considerations" in README.vms. Thanks for the report. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
