You should ask on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. That's where the
Windows ports are discussed.

I don't either.
I think it's a line ending difference thing: DOS/Windows uses CRLF line
endings, while UNIX uses LF.
There's apparently some difference between what Perl generates when it
does a 'print "\n";' and what C generates when it does a 'printf("\n");'
in terms of line endings.
You'll have to ask on the make-w32 list or else a Perl list that deals
with Windows, or check the web or something; I don't have a Windows
machine much less one with any sort of development environment on it.

Yes, this is CRLF.

You're saying this call is getting executed? That should only happen on
VMS systems, not on Windows; you can tell because the test around it is
only true when $vos is set; $vos is only set (in theory) when Perl
detects that it's running on VMS.
Bleah, looking at it the whole contents of the get_osname() function in
test_driver.pl seems kind of broken.

None.

I think the reason for this is because the test script has decided that
your system is running VMS.
If you solve that problem I'm sure things will start working _MUCH_
better.
