I just ran the taint tests. It looks like VMS's %ENV is *not* tainted.
$ perl -"Twle" "my $foo = (values %ENV)[0]; open(FILE, qq{>$foo})"
Name "main::FILE" used only once: possible typo at -e line 1.
Whereas on Unix that would cause a taint error.
I know environment variables are a bit different on VMS than Unix. Is
there any reason you wouldn't want %ENV to be tainted?
