Q: Can anyone explain this cursious behaviour.

[john.d...@compinia.de]

Hi,






$ perl x.pl
Why do I get %SYSTEM-F-NOLOGNAM? at x.pl line 5.
%SYSTEM-F-NOLOGNAM, no logical name match

When we define a logical name X we get:
$ def/user X Y
$ perl x.pl
Y
Why do I get %SYSTEM-F-NOLOGNAM? at x.pl line 5.
%SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort
$

$ perl -v

This is perl 5, version 20, subversion 0 (v5.20.0) built for VMS_IA64


Kind regards
John

we came across this curious behaviour. Here enclosed please find a reproducer. When running the enclosed perl script without any logical definitions we get the message: PS. Why can't a PRODUCT INSTALL of PERL leave an older installation alone (ie. do not start deleting files in the directory tree), or at least offer an OPTION to leave the old installation as is?
