> This directory contains the source code for the Perl extension; VMS::Stdio, which provides access from Perl to VMS-specific 8 stdio functions.  For more specific documentation of its1 function, please see the pod section of Stdio.pm.   *                        *** Please Note ***  C This package is the direct descendant of VMS::stdio, but as of Perl C 5.002, the name has been changed to VMS::Stdio, in order to conform ? to the Perl naming convention that extensions whose name begins ? with a lowercase letter represent compile-time "pragmas", while C extensions which provide added functionality have names whose parts 9 begin with uppercase letters.  In addition, the functions < vmsfopen and fgetname have been renamed vmsopen and getname,< respectively, in order to more closely resemble related Perl= I/O operators, which do not retain the 'f' from corresponding  C routine names.  : A transitional interface to the old routine names has been9 provided, so that calls to these routines will generate a 6 warning, and be routed to the corresponding VMS::Stdio= routine.  This interface will be removed in a future release, 0 so please update your code to use the new names.     ===> Installation   > This extension, like most Perl extensions, should be installed> by copying the files in this directory to a location *outside*+ the Perl distribution tree, and then saying   >     $ perl Makefile.PL  !
