Re: Possible problem with VMS perldoc

I also ran perlivp with the following results. Again I am not exactly 
sure as to what is expected or not. Is this "normal" on OpenVMS?

$ perlivp
ok 1
ok 2
ok 3
ok 4
[ERROR] Could not find the 'cpanp-run-perl' binary in your path--this 
may be a problem.
Please locate this program and set your 'perlwrapper' config entry to 
its path.
 From the default shell, you can do this by typing:

  s program perlwrapper FULL_PATH_TO_CPANP_RUN_PERL
  s save
