FAILED at test 18 Failed 9 tests out of 2111, 99.57% okay. To account for the differences, one would have to methodically go through the very large matrix of, in no particular order: 1.) Volume characteristics of the build volume, notably ODS-2 versus ODS-5, but assuming ODS-5, are access dates enabled, etc. 2.) VMS version and ECO level. 3.) CRTL ECO level. 4.) Extended parse enabled or not. 5.) Compiler version. 6.) Presence or absence of what versions of certain external utilities, notably tar. 7.) What DECC$* features, if any, are enabled. 8.) Complete configuration output from perl -"V". A large number of the failures I'm not getting involve stat() calls, and I think there have been fixes in this area, and the Time::HiRes failures definitely point to a bug in the CRTL that has been fixed. So getting a current CRTL ECO would probably be the one thing to focus on if any of these test failures is a concern. ________________________________________ Craig A.
