PERL version 3.0 patchlevel 44 fails the io.fs test 18 with the following error: not ok 18 664650167 664650167 This is on a DECsystem 5400 running Ultrix 4.1. Has anyone else run into this problem? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. - Tom Heft heft@husc9.harvard.edu

My guess is that the test (which modifies the file in some way that escapes me now) is failing because the change to the file has not propagated it's way back to the NFS client (your DECstation) by the time perl checks to see if the modification has taken place. I've run the tests (perl pl 41) on a local disk on my DECstation and it works fine.

I moved both the new "perl" and "io.fs" to a local directory and it worked fine. Thanks. - Tom Heft heft@husc9.harvard.edu
