Indeed I had missed that and thanks for pointing out the newer version.
With 0.06 I obtain:
$ unzip vms-device-0_06.zip
Archive: DKA300:[000000]VMS-DEVICE-0_06.ZIP;1
inflating: [.vms.device]changes
inflating: [.vms.device]manifest

inflating: [.vms.device]device.pm
inflating: [.vms.device]device.xs
inflating: [.vms.device]makefile.pl
creating: [.vms.device.t]
inflating: [.vms.device.t]basic.t
replace [.vms.device.t]basic.t? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: y
inflating: [.vms.device.t]basic.t
Odd that the zip file would have an overwrite of one of its one files.
Odd too that there is no version number in the directory. One suspects
the absence of `mms dist` packaging here.
Odd too the long symbol names:
tils]xsubpp -typemap perl_root:[lib.ExtUtils]typemap DEVICE.xs >DEVICE.C
Warning: long symbol VMS__Device_decode_device_bitmap
trimmed to VMS_Di_do_di_bitmap
at perl_root:[lib.extutils]xsubpp line 943
Please specify prototyping behavior for device.xs (see perlxs manual)
And finally I try running the test script that I mentioned last week,
and the device changes from "Online wrtlck" to "Online alloc wrtlck"
but does not appear to get mounted successfully.
