      http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2010/08/msg163485.html suggests a change to lib/File/Copy.pm, forcing the block size to 4096. Can you apply that change and see whether it works?

      I haven't trawled the changes to File::Copy - maybe the NonStop specific fix never went in.

      If your company is using Perl on NonStop "Unix", maybe you have access to a test environment where you can run a monthly test build of Perl so such errors can be detected and smoked out earlier in the process?

        Hi, defaulted the size to 4096 in Copy.pm and the install seemd to work.... to a certain point...now I have different problems. The if statement didn't work.. 



        if ($^O eq 'nonstop-kernel') {
        $size = 4096;
 }
