That ain't good. Can you reproduce it with something simpler, like: $ perl "-MExtUtils::Command" -e "rm_f" foo.[0-9][0-9] I'm speculating that a regular expression has made its way into a filespec where it doesn't belong. Of course it shouldn't crash Perl in any case. I can't reproduce the crash with Perl 5.8.4 nor with a current development build of Perl on Alpha, which are the versions I have handy at the moment. >Any idea how to delete files like those following which gnu tar created: > >dbi-1^.52-rc1.tar;1 >perl-5^.8^.8.DIR;1 >perl-5^.8.8;1 > >I cannot even set def into the dir one. $ set process/parse=extended $ delete dbi-1^.52-rc1.tar;1 etc. Somewhere in the doc set there used to be an OpenVMS Guide to Extended File Specifications, but I think it's been assimilated now into various and sundry other places. > >(As you may have guessed by now, I'm new to VMS 8 on itanium although I used to >use VMS 5.? on VAX and alpha a long time ago). > >Martin >-- >Martin J.
