This is the status of Blead 25366 (Sept 9, 2005 download) on VMS.
Only the ZLIB test is failing for unknown reasons. Paul, if your
changes got applied to blead, then they are still not working.
Otherwise, I have pulled down the latest ZLIB from CPAN and will try
that one out.
This is with patches that I submitted to MakeMaker in place may not have
made it into blead, patches submitted to CBuilder in place, and with the
logical name PERL_MBX_SIZE set to 1024.
Summary below:
Failed 6 test scripts out of 922
t/op/goto.................................FAILED at test 53
Extra line feed issues on piped data.
t/op/gv...................................FAILED at test 67
Multi-line command line does not yet appear supported on VMS.
ext/Compress/Zlib/t/03examples............FAILED at test 10
ext/Compress/Zlib/t/06gzdopen.............FAILED--unexpected output at
test 0
Still needs investigation.
lib/Archive/Tar/t/04_resolved_issues......FAILED at test 9
not ok 9 - With the proper name
# Failed test ([-.lib.archive.tar.t]04_resolved_issues.t at line 53)
# got: 'Catalyst-Helper-Controller-Scaffold-HTML-Template-0_03/lib/
Catalyst/Helper/Controller/Scaffold/HTML/Template.pm'
# expected: 'Catalyst-Helper-Controller-Scaffold-HTML-Template-0.03/lib/
Catalyst/Helper/Controller/Scaffold/HTML/Template.pm'
Fails because it uses filename only legal on ODS-5
So I enable the partial support for those filenames:
not ok 9 - With the proper name
# Failed test ([-.lib.archive.tar.t]04_resolved_issues.t at line 53)
# got:
'Catalyst-Helper-Controller-Scaffold-HTML-Template-0^/03/lib/
Catalyst/Helper/Controller/Scaffold/HTML/Template.pm'
# expected: 'Catalyst-Helper-Controller-Scaffold-HTML-Template-0.03/lib/
Catalyst/Helper/Controller/Scaffold/HTML/Template.pm'
This fails because optional support of ODS-5 "EFS" extended
filenames on VMS is still not complete in blead.
lib/File/Copy.............................FAILED at test 20
This test will only pass now on VMS if three conditions exist.
1. The test directory is an ODS-5 volume.
2. The hardware is not a VAX.
3. The DECC feature DECC$EFS_FILE_TIMESTAMPS is enabled.
lib/Test/Simple/t/create..................FAILED at test 7
Fix provided to me by Michael G Schwern, but not yet in blead.
