I'm trying to add some modules to my Perl setup on VMS 7.3-2.
I am finding the process of reading the instructions for doing this a
bit confusing. I ftp'ed a kit such as the fileutils kit in tgz format
to a directory somewhere.
Is there a particular directory under the perl_root that I'm supposed to
put the files? I tried doing the gunzip and vmstar x on the resulting
tar file. This produced a subdirectory.
I set default to the subdirectory and did MMK. That seemed to go ok.
Then I did MMK TEST. This produced:
mmk test
olddef = F$Environment("Default")
Set Default [.root]
MMK all /Macro=(LIB="", LIBPERL_A="libperl.olb",
LINKTYPE="dynamic", PREFIX="",
OPTIMIZE="/List/Machine/Show=Expan",
PASTHRU_DEFINE="", PASTHRU_INC="")
Set Default 'olddef'
olddef = F$Environment("Default")
Set Default [.safename]
MMK all /Macro=(LIB="", LIBPERL_A="libperl.olb",
LINKTYPE="dynamic", PREFIX="",
OPTIMIZE="/List/Machine/Show=Expan",
PASTHRU_DEFINE="", PASTHRU_INC="")
Set Default 'olddef'
MCR $30$dkb0:[perl5_8_6]perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"

How do I deal with the "Can't local ...." problem? Is there something
I'm supposed to do that I haven't already done?
Is this a case of "if only you had read pages x,y and z then you'd know
that you missed doing blah, blah and blah?"
Thanks for any and all pointers to figuring out how this stuff can work.
