build failure 5.84-5.88

Alpha VMS 7.3-1, DEC C 6.5-001, MMK 3.9-6, MMS 3.4-3.
Just a default build.
I can't upgrade VMS (I need appletalk to work), and the prebuilt
binaries are for vms 7.3-2 up.
I want a copy of perl to massage VMS/RMS data files into a format
suitable for load into mysql.
First I need to build it, then I need to write scripts for each file.

Fairly consistent failure building attrs with 5.8.8,.4,.7:
Making attrs (dynamic)
Writing Descrip.MMS for attrs
Perl 5.00503 required--this is only version 5.00404, stopped at
.../../lib/ExtUtils/Command.pm line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ../../lib/ExtUtils/Command.pm line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
%SYSTEM-F-NOLOGNAM, no logical name match
%MMK-F-ERRUPD, error status %X000001BC occurred when updating target
[--.LIB].EXISTS
%MMK-F-ERRUPD, error status %X1C14803C occurred when updating target DYNEXT

While I'm asking, here's the script I wrote for one file (no binary
data, so I could ftp this one to fedora & perl it there). Criticism
welcome - my first perl. (file contains a 16 character key, padded with
spaces on vms, and a largeish varchar field (up to 2k) containing '\r'
and printable characters).

open(INFILE, "/var/lib/mysql/Stationery/Style.sql") or die("Can't open
input");
open(OUTFILE, ">/var/lib/mysql/Stationery/Style.imp") or die("Can't open
output");
while (<INFILE>) {
$k = substr($_,0,16);
# print $k,"|\n";
$k =~ s/\s+$//;
# print $k,"|\n";
s/\s+$//;
print OUTFILE '"',$k,'"',"\t",substr($_,16),"\n";
break;
}

Thanks
Chris
