These messages are often symptomatic of directory depth problems on
older systems.  I thought OpenVMS VAX v7.3 had lifted the 8-level
limit, but perhaps not.

Currently Perl is getting installed in DEV:[PERLBUILD.PERL.].  You
might try moving it up one level to DEV:[PERL.] and see if that
helps.  It may not, but it's worth a try.  Do

$ @build_perl dev:[perl.]

or

$ submit build_perl/param=dev:[perl.]

and see if that helps.  Obviously replace "dev" with your physical
device name, volume label, or other suitable equivalent.  You can
change [perl.] to [perl-5_6_1.] or whatever you want, but be sure it
ends with ".]" as it will be used to form a rooted logical name.
