Can you run it outside of bash?  If you have to use bash, can you try  
it with Perl 5.10.1 and DECC$EFS_CHARSET enabled?  But before you go  
reinstalling Perl, you can probably get more verbose output by  
defining PERL_DL_DEBUG in the environment:

$ define PERL_DL_DEBUG 10

from DCL, not bash.

"device_name" is not the real name of the device is it?
