Odd too since change # 10968, 10971 mention only lib/Memoize/t/tie_sdbm.t.
At any rate if you edit your config.sh to remove mention of SDBM_File
(note use vile or EDIT/TPU since EDIT/EDT cannot handle the longer than
255 lines in config.sh) then you can build with mms and:
DEC C V6.0-001 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1
But check out what happens when you run `mms test` under such a setup:
[-.lib.time]localtime...................ok
[-.lib.user]grent.......................skipping test on this platform
[-.lib.user]pwent.......................skipping test on this platform
FAILED--Further testing stopped: Perl configured without DB_File or
[A-Z]DBM_Fil

That is, the absence of an optional extension precludes further testing,
even if further testing has nothing to do with the optional extension.
