All,

I was trying to get VMS::Stat going under VMS 7.1-1. Unfortunately, that 
version doesn't have fab$v_erl (a.k.a. the "erase" bit). I was going to 
develop a patch, but I'm having trouble establishing which version 
introduced this attribute. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Tom Wyant

PS:  With the fab$v_erl value forced false, it passes all tests except for 
test 5 in 2.t:

$ perl "-Mblib" t/2.t
1..21
ok 1
ok 2
ok 3
ok 4
not ok 5 # %RMS-F-SYN, file specification syntax error after 
get_fab(SYS$DISK:[]
silly.name.that.is.not.ods-2.legal.$$.and.has.no.carets.hence.not-0ds-5.either) 

call
ok 6
ok 7
ok 8
ok 9
ok 10
ok 11
ok 12
ok 13
ok 14
ok 15
ok 16
ok 17
ok 18
ok 19
ok 20
ok 21

The .xs "looks right" to me, so I don't know what this is about. But the 
test error isn't what I'm worried about at the moment. -- TRW
