You can get /NAMES=AS_IS by configuring the Perl build with:
$ @configure -"Dbe_case_sensitive=Y" -"des"
I tried this once. The build fails to even build miniperl.
Of course I should know better than to recommend an option I haven't
tried in years. I'll take a look.
The missing GLOBALS module is caused by the fact that, when built on
an ODS-5 disk, the filenames are all lowercase so they are entered
into the library in lowercase. This doesn't happen when built on an
ODS-2 disk, of course, but the rest of the errors do. At least some
of the errors are caused by VMS.C undefining what it learned from
the system include files and then redefining without the lowercase
to uppercase definition the include files do. Here is an extract
from the MMS file I use to build libtidy, which is required by
HTML::Tidy. It addresses the first problem regardless of what type
of build disk is being used.
.c.obj :
@ if f$parse(f$search("$(MMS$SOURCE)"),,,"NAME") .nes. f
$edit(f$parse(f$search("$(MMS$SOURCE)"),,,"NAME"),"UPCASE") then
rename $(MMS$SOURCE) 'f$edit("$(MMS$SOURCE)","UPCASE")
$(CC) $(DBGOPT) $(CFLAGS) $(MMS$SOURCE)
.obj.olb :
$(LIBR)$(LIBRFLAGS) $(MMS$TARGET) $(MMS$SOURCE)
Interesting. I think I would rather do it on the obj.olb rule than
the .c.obj rule; somehow changing the names of object files seems less
intrusive since those are just intermediate build products.
