Thank you, Hein and Craig.
perl -v
This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 2 (v5.14.2) built for VMS_AXP
...
running on VMS 8.3
I apologize to the list for being a bit hasty, but really appreciate
the feedback. The actual code I have (as opposed to what I
typed in, in panic mode, is exactly the same as what Craig ran.
I am to blame (of course). When the job runs in batch, it does
the right thing. I suspect there was something I did when I ran
it interactively, but testing again just now, the interactive
version ran fine as well. I'm sure I saw hard returns in the
output lines, at 132 characters, but I built those up by
reading the output of $show entry/full (into an array),
using chomp, picking it apart, and then concatenating it.
When I do $ show entry on a T4 job, I see this:

No hard returns. Mea culpa, but I can't explain why I was seeing those hard
returns Sunday afternoon, but not now...
Thanks again for the quick feedback, and sorry to waste your time.

I cannot reproduce this with either 5.12.3 or with blead, even if I create the
file first with DCL and then create a new version with Perl. I'm doing the
following:
open XML, "> something.xml";
my $x = 'tag';
my $y = 'W' x 200;
print XML '<',$x,'>',$y,'</',$x,'>',"\n";
So something is different about your environment or what you're doing. Are you
sure there are no embedded newlines in $y?
