Re: Problem building Perl 5.10.0 on OpenVMS V8.3-1H1

I repacked it to ZIP under Windows before transfering it to Integrity.

This works on my system. It only fails a little later:

CC/DECC/NOANSI_ALIAS /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/Obj=.obj/NoList/float=ieee/ieee=denorm/Define=(PERL_CORE,_USE_STD_STAT=1) MRO.C

It seems that MMS doesn't infer the source file from the target.
The rule failing in DESCRIP.MMS is

globals$(O) : uudmap.h

If I change that to 

globals$(O) : globals.c uudmap.h

it works. But this problem comes back when building the dynamic modules:

@make_ext "Sys$Disk:[]miniperl.exe" "MMS"

        Making attrs (dynamic)
Writing Descrip.MMS for attrs
cp attrs.pm [--.lib]attrs.pm
MCR [--]miniperl.exe "-I[--.lib]" "-I[--.lib]" -e "use ExtUtils::Mksymlists;"   -e "Mksymlists('NAME' => 'attrs', 'DL_FUNCS' => {  }
, 'DL_VARS' => [], 'FUNCLIST' => [])"

%MMS-F-GWKNOACTS, Actions to update ATTRS.C are unknown.
%MMS-F-ABORT, For target DYNEXT, CLI returned abort status: %X10EE805C.

A similar rule fails there:

attrs.c : $(XSUBPPDEPS)

instead of

attrs.c : attrs.xs $(XSUBPPDEPS)

It's HP C V7.3-018 and MMS V3.8-2 on OpenVMS IA64 V8.3-1H1 here.
Time to upgrade your development environment... Didn't MMS 3.7 have
issuewith ODS5 filenames?
