Just finished building, testing and installing perl 5.12.3 for OpenVMS Alpha V8.3. Everything appeared normal throughout. Afterward I was Just plinking around with the perl documentation utility and noticed that it does not appear completely functional: $ perldoc "perldoc" No documentation found for "perldoc". %RMS-E-FNF, file not found $ perldoc "-D" "perldoc" Ending switch processing. Args are [perldoc] with 0 errors. perl_root:[utils]perldoc.com => Pod::Perldoc v3.15_02 Formatter class Pod::Perldoc::ToText successfully loaded! Will format with the class Pod::Perldoc::ToText Searching for perldoc Looking for perldoc in perl_root:[utils] perl_root:[lib.site_perl.VMS_AXP] perl_root:[lib.site_perl] perl_root:[lib.VMS_AXP.5_12_3] perl_root:[lib] . DISK_CSWB:[CSWB] DISK_XPDF:[APPLICATIONS.XPDF] GNV$GNU:[BIN] perl_root:[lib.pod] Looking for perlperldoc in perl_root:[utils] perl_root:[lib.site_perl.VMS_AXP] perl_root:[lib.site_perl] perl_root:[lib.VMS_AXP.5_12 _3] perl_root:[lib] . DISK_CSWB:[CSWB] DISK_XPDF:[APPLICATIONS.XPDF] GNV$GNU:[BIN] perl_root:[lib.pod] No documentation found for "perldoc". %RMS-E-FNF, file not found Is this expected? has anybody else experienced this or can somebody else repeat the problem? I haven't looked at the source to see what file it is looking for. Maybe there is something missing in the install step? This particular problem is not exactly high priority. But, I thought somebody in the OpenVMS PERL group might be interested. The installation appears to execute simple perl scripts properly anyway. I haven't yet tried anything complicated. That will have to wait till tomorrow. Any wisdom would be appreciated. Regards, Eric
