This has undoubtedly best asked before, but being that I need to know... Has anyone ported Perl to VMS? If so, where can I get it? If you could send mail, I'd be most happy.

I have been "lurking" in this news group looking for the answer to this very question for several months, but it seems as though everyone who asks also asks for an e-mail response. My best guess is no, it doesn't exist. (or at least has never been mentioned). If I am wrong please let me know (post or e-mail) I'd love to hear otherwise.

I am aware of an effort inside of DEC which may have yielded a port. I will ask around and see what happened. My gut feeling though is that the work may have been done on the version of VMS which marketing claims will be XPG3 and POSIX.1 compliant... - Marc -- =========================================================================== Marc Evans - WB1GRH - evans@decvax.DEC.COM | Synergytics (603)635-8876 Unix and X Software Contractor | 21 Hinds Ln, Pelham, NH 03076 ===========================================================================

(or at least has never been mentioned). >If I am wrong please let me know (post or e-mail) I'd love to hear otherwise. We have a version that a former staff member ported to VMS. Our version is at a very old patch level, but has been sufficent for our use so far. It has not been updated to reflect the pathes in the past 6-9 months. If someone wants what we have done up to now (and wants to update it), I can make copies available. jeff -- Jeff Carpenter, University of Pittsburgh, Computing and Information Services 600 Epsilon Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15238 jjc+@unix.cis.pitt.edu, jjc@pittvms.bitnet, +1 412 624 6424, FAX +1 412 624 6436
