I've never used it because the effort to get it ported was always a bit more effort than just manually installing whatever extension I was interested in. It would be very nice to have working. Chuck Lane did get a version working some years ago: http://www.crinoid.com/perl560.htmlx He also wrote the VMS::FileUtils module to handle the multiple dot issue you are encountering: http://search.cpan.org/~clane/VMS-FileUtils_0.014/ -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
