I also ran perlivp with the following results. Again I am not exactly
sure as to what is expected or not. Is this "normal" on OpenVMS?

Is this expected? has anybody else experienced this or can somebody
else repeat the problem? I haven't looked at the source to see what
file it is looking for. Maybe there is something missing in the
install step?
This particular problem is not exactly high priority. But, I thought
somebody in the OpenVMS PERL group might be interested.
The installation appears to execute simple perl scripts properly
anyway. I haven't yet tried anything complicated. That will have to
wait till tomorrow.
Any wisdom would be appreciated.
Regards,
Eric
