Peter, does VMS have the same lack of functionality for file locking
that DJGPP/DOS does (i.e., no working versions of flock or lockf or
fcntl(...,F_SETLK/W,...))? If so, look at the changes I helped put
into both t/lib/st-lock.t and ext/Storable/Storable.pm for
DJGPP. Essentially, the changes made the locking versions of
store/retrieve and the tests for them no-ops if ($^O eq 'dos'). If VMS
has the same problem, it would be easy to add VMS to those no-op tests.
