Hi Craig, I have now installed 5-14.1 on 3 AlphaServers, all running VMS 8.3. I've noticed the following when I build many of the VMS extensions from CPAN, for instance, this one from VMS::USER (0_02)
$ mmk test MCR castor$dka0:[sys_utility.perl5141]perl.exe.1 "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, '[.blib.lib]', '[.blib.arch]')" t/* .t %DCL-W-IVVERB, unrecognized command verb - check validity and spelling \"castor$dka0:[sys_utility.perl5141]perl.exe;1"\ t/basic.t .. ok t/self.t ... ok All tests successful. Files=2, Tests=3, 6 wallclock secs ( 1.80 usr + 0.00 sys = 1.80 CPU) Result: PASS I will check this out later, if/when I get some spare time. Just a brief note to let you know that 5.14-1 looks very good so far.
