I am currently attempting to build the perl 5.20.2 release on OpenVMS
Alpha V8.3 and I get an error part way through the build.
5.22.0 was released yesterday, so I'd recommend starting there. I hope to get
kits out soonish but I gather you have a reason to build your own from source
so there's no reason to wait for me.
I saw an earlier posting that
indicated the CPAN.pm module for 5.20.x was not functional for OpenVMS.
But when I compared the CPAN.pm modules from the 5.20.2 release with the
supposedly patched versions contained in the
VMSPORTS-AXPVMS-PERL--V0520-1-1 kit I did not see any differences
This is odd but the CPAN problem would not have anything to do with building
the core, only with installing additional extensions afterwards. And the
problem there was with CPAN has been fixed in 5.22.0.
As Always, any wisdom on how to investigate this problem would be
appreciated.

Please check that you have extended parse enabled in the process, and please also check
that you do not have DECC$EFS_CHARSET explicitly disabled in the process. This is just
guessing. I've never seen this particular error so I don't know for sure what's going
on, but "XSUBPP^.." sure looks like something went wrong with handling extended
characters.
