G'day p5p,
Craig A. Berry discovered that autodie's tests which attempt to detect
flock() support can cause bogus test failures on older VMS systems:
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=47812
Attached is a trivial patch from Craig that fixes this issue. It's already
been applied to my upstream repository.
Dave - I have no idea if this would be an issue for people building Perl
5.10.1 on old VMS systems. You may wish to consider it for inclusion into
maint-5.10 just in case.
All the very best,
Paul
