I am trying to install Perl 5\.005\_03 on a VAX running VMS 6\.2 I am using DECC compiler V5\.6\, MMS version 3\.2\, Multinet V4\.1B and Decnet phase V\, V6\.3 ECO 10\.
For what it is worth I did not have any trouble with a machine equipped as similar to yours as I can scrounge up: DEC C V5.3-006 on OpenVMS VAX V6.2\, MMS V3.1-03\, V4.0 Rev C\, Decnet phase IV.
That is "mms test" returned for me:
All tests successful. u=18.52 s=0 cu=0 cs=0 files=165 tests=6163
In the Test phase of the build\, I get 1 error\. It is on the module \[\.T\.OP\]READ\.T Below is documentation of the error\, etc\. In the compile/link phase\, there is one informational message\. I will include it\, in case it is relevant\. I did the "MMS" twice with "MMS realclean" in between\. I got the source from the internet \(latest\_tar\.tar\) We un\-g\-zipped it and untar'ed it on a PC\. We then FTP'd the modules from the PC to the VAX\. Somehow the FTP did not copy VMSISH\.H\, so I went back and FTP'ed that one by itself\. I have re\-FTP'ed the READ\.T but it stil fails the test\.
This was the source of some of the trouble you had with missing files when you ran configure.com. Try using gunzip.exe and vmstar.exe on your VAX. These URLs are from README.vms:

For what it is worth the informational message from the compiler and the failure of read.t are unrelated. (The informational message was the DECC compiler building the VMS::Stdio module which is not tested by read.t). I too saw the informational message with DECC 5.3-006.
Do you by chance have any logicals such as "T" or "OP" or "READ"\, that is\, does:
show logical t/table=*
turn up anything? That might have been part of the trouble. The other thing that looks suspicious is that you defined PERL_ROOT and did a SET DEF PERL_ROOT:[000000]. Although the build procedure was originally created to avoid any trouble if you did that\, I am not sure how well tested it is. That is if you did:
set def $29$DUA53:[PERL_5_005_03] mms test
You might get that test to pass.
At any rate\, if I were you I would definitely start with a fresh kit\, transferred using binary ftp directly to the VAX and gunzip then tar -xvf it.
