Failures building perl 5.8.5 on OpenVMS

[TH - Tracy Hughes]

Here is a list of failures in the test suite (MMS test).  I'm not sure if any are "dangerous", hopefully someone will know.  The one departure my build has from a regular build is that I've built using /float=dfloat.  miniperl information is at the end.

        lib/Unicode/UCD...........................FAILED at test 180

 

running @[.vms]test.com .exe "" "-v" didn't seem to produce any useful (new) information for these.  Since the test case files tend to be compact (rather than a list of numbered test cases) its hard to establish what test was actually being performed (at least, on a cursory examination) so I didn't take it any further than that.

MCR []MINIPERL "-V"

(I noticed I had to redefine perl_root so it didn't bitch like this:

   Perl lib version (5.00462) doesn't match executable version (5.008005) at...)
