RE: Building VMS Perl (5-12.3)

You may want to extract the tar file using a special qualifier to vmstar, namely the following one:

            /DATE_POLICY  -- Decide what times of extracted files
                             will be set:
                                 [NO]CREATION
                                 [NO]MODIFICATION

I often use:

   tar /extract/verbose/date_policy=none <tarfile.tar>
