If that is of any help. On both Solaris and on VMS I obtained the misleading statement: t/xs.................... skipped all skipped: No compiler found to test XS builds Which it turns out was due to ExtUtils::CBuilder not being installed not because I did not have a compiler. On VMS 7.3-2 + perl 5.8.1 + mmk V3.9-6 I obtained: All tests successful, 8 tests and 94 subtests skipped. Files=40, Tests=647, 261 wallclock secs ( 0.00 cusr + 0.00 csys = 0.00 CPU) In trying to figure out why MakeMaker is mislead into thinking I did not have a compiler I noticed a possible problem with the Utils.pm handling of old makefiles: diff -ru ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.26_01.orig/t/lib/MakeMaker/Test/Utils.pm ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.26_01/t/lib/MakeMaker/Test/Utils.pm --- ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.26_01.orig/t/lib/MakeMaker/Test/Utils.pm 2005-03-12 13:05:25.000000000 -0500 +++ ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.26_01/t/lib/MakeMaker/Test/Utils.pm 2005-03-29 14:12:27.147824000 -0500 @@ -149,7 +149,7 @@ sub makefile_backup { my $makefile = makefile_name; - return $Is_VMS ? $makefile : "$makefile.old"; + return $Is_VMS ?

I think that is correct owing to things like the following: search descrip.mms MAKEFILE_OLD MAKEFILE_OLD = Descrip.MMS_old But in any case the tests all pass on VMS with or without that patch in place.
