VMS Perl folks:
I'm trying to upgrade from the (prebuilt but extended) 5.6.1 on my
Alpha running VMS 7.3-1 with lots of patches to the (prebuilt on the
freeware) 5.8.1.
When I try to install DBD_RDB, which installed happily on 5.6.1, I have
problems.
perl makefile.pl
WARNING: C takes a array reference not a string/number.
Please inform the author.
WARNING: XS takes a hash reference not a string/number.
Please inform the author.
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Can't use string ("dbdimp.c") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at
/per
l_root/lib/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm line 1564.
%RMS-E-FNF, file not found
(I tried editing my old descrip.mms to change the 5_6_1 to 5_8_1 but them
the MMS build blew up complaining about a shareable image mismatch.)
Does anybody have this working?
(My immediate issue is that I have a program that makes Perl die with an access
violation when I try to do a particular bind_param under 5.6.1 and I was hoping
not to have that problem under 5.8.1. Of course, I _won't_ have that issue if
I can't install the database driver at all.)
Thanks,
