An accvio with long pathnames is more than likely something just recently fixed (since 5.8.2): http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse?patch=21858 What's particularly puzzling is that since you use concealed as well as terminal, it shouldn't be expanding the logical completely but apparently is. >$ mc [--]perl "-Px" SWITCHPX.AUX >%DCL-W-TKNOVF, command element is too long - shorten Once it truncates the command line, the rest of what happens is up for grabs. I don't see anything obvious about the test that would make it more vulnerable to long filenames than other tests. As long as VMS has command buffers that are many times shorter than other OS's, I think we will still see examples of this. >Since I can build from my home directory this is mostly a FYI. Thanks. I may not have time to debug this in the near term, but it's better to know about. I'm glad you have a workaround. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
