Craig, thanks. Point noted :-)-O
This (VAX/SIMH) is just a blast from the past, (from Medical School actually, 35 years ago) :-)-O, and I just thought I play with perl a little. And I run the emulator on OS X and could not find much for that :-)-O I found perl5_005_03_vmsvax6_2.zip on DECUSLIB (it is not on the FTP nor HTTP site) and that works. greetings, el On 2015-07-03 22:41 , Craig A.
