Hi Alan

1> DEFINE/PROCESS FILEA full pathname (without username/password)
$PERL TEST.PL FILEA
filea
    Fatal VMS error (status=2312) at PERLKIT:[SOURCE]VMS.C;1, line 5962 at test
.pl line 2.
%SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available

2>DEFINE/PROCESS FILEA full pathname (with username/password)
$PERL TEST.PL FILEA
filea
    Died at test.pl line 2.
%SYSTEM-F-NOSUCHNODE, remote node is unknown

3>$WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETSYI("VERSION")
V7.2-1 

4>$PERL "-v"
This is perl, v5.6.1 built for VMS_AXP

5>$show log decc*
