Here's my attempt at running mms test on VMS with 5.8.0. $ perl "-Iblib/lib" t/01-basic.t 1..11 ok 1 ok 2 CC/DECC -Iperl_root:[lib.VMS_AXP.5_8_0.CORE] -c /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANS I/Prefix=All/Obj=.obj /NOANSI_ALIAS/float=ieee/ieee=denorm_results /NoList -o US ER1:[SCHWERN]compilet.obj USER1:[SCHWERN]compilet.c %DCL-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer parameters %DCL-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer parameters error building USER1:[SCHWERN]compilet.obj from 'USER1:[SCHWERN]compilet.c' at b lib/lib/ExtUtils/CBuilder/Base.pm line 65. not ok 3 # Failed test 3 in t/01-basic.t at line 14 ok 4 ok 5 CC/DECC -Iperl_root:[lib.VMS_AXP.5_8_0.CORE] -c /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANS I/Prefix=All/Obj=.obj /NOANSI_ALIAS/float=ieee/ieee=denorm_results /NoList -o [. t]compilet.obj [.t]compilet.c %DCL-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer parameters %DCL-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer parameters error building [.t]compilet.obj from '[.t]compilet.c' at blib/lib/ExtUtils/CBuil der/Base.pm line 65. %RMS-E-FNF, file not found $ perl "-Iblib/lib" t/02-link.t 1..5 ok 1 ok 2 CC/DECC -Iperl_root:[lib.VMS_AXP.5_8_0.CORE] -c /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANS I/Prefix=All/Obj=.obj /NOANSI_ALIAS/float=ieee/ieee=denorm_results /NoList -o [. t]compilet.obj [.t]compilet.c %DCL-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer parameters %DCL-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer parameters error building [.t]compilet.obj from '[.t]compilet.c' at blib/lib/ExtUtils/CBuil der/Base.pm line 65. %RMS-E-FNF, file not found There's some assumptions there which aren't going to fly. Pretty much anything of the -foo form is likely to be wrong on VMS. Looks like most of ExtUtils::CBuilder::Base->compile() will have to be overridden. You can probably figure it out from ExtUtils::MM_VMS though it won't be pretty. And at this point I kick this over to the vmsperl folks.
