[Info-vax] Perl (for OpenSSL) v. me

[Steven Schweda]

   While I'm at it, a couple of other, minor Perl-on-VMS complaints:

   Using the PCSI kit ("VMSPORTS AXPVMS PERL522 V5.22-1"), I see:

%DCL-I-SUPERSEDE, previous value of PERL_ROOT has been superseded

because there are two DEFINE commands for PERL_ROOT in
SYS$COMMON:[perl-5_22]perl_setup.com.  The perl_setup.com in the 5.22.1
source kit is different enough not to do this.

   Either way, perl_setup.com looks at P1 to let the user specify a
directory explicitly (default: the directory where perl_setup.com
resides):

[...]
$ if P1 .EQS. ""
$ then
$   myproc = f$environment("PROCEDURE")
[...]
$   root_spec = myroot_dev + "[" + myroot_dir + ".]"
$ else
$   root_spec = P1
$ endif
[...]

But there's no comment in there to explain this.  The victim must puzzle
it out for himself.  (Or find some documentation somewhere else?)
