It's likely that this would get past the error that is stopping you in your tracks. It's unlikely it would really be setting permissions in the way it intends to, but it's equally unlikely that doing so would be necessary. It's the equivalent of SET FILE/PROTECTION=(O:RWE,G:RE,W:RE). If you have the opportunity to try [EMAIL PROTECTED] or later, I would appreciate confirmation that my Itanium changes have not caused any problems on VAX. You can get it via $ rsync -avz ftp.linux.activestate.com::perl-current perl Last I heard the rsync port to VMS was still incomplete, but you can execute the above command on anything unixy (including Mac OS X) or Windows with CygWin installed. Then set owner write permissions, zip or tar up the perl tree and you have your own snapshot. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
