Re: problem building perl 5.10.1

Hi. Thanks for answer and sorry for the late in replay but I was on 
holiday.

If I give the command LSKDFJ I obtain:

ISTI-MX4> LSKDFJ
%DCL-E-PARSEFAIL, error parsing DCL$PATH:LSKDFJ.*
-RMS-F-DEV, error in device name or inappropriate device type for operation

No, the "show logical timezone" command indicate that I am one hour 
ahead of UTC:
"SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL" = "3600"
but if I give the "show time" command I obtain a value two hour ahead of 
UTC (it is correct because in this period we use the CEST).
