The document you cite was last updated in September of 1997 and is very out of date. I would recommend that you instead read the README.vms file from the perl 5.6.1 source. It is on the web at:
http://search.cpan.org/doc/GSAR/perl-5.6.1-TRIAL3/README.vms The source code is at: http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.6.1.tar.gz The configure.com DCL procedure will run tests to see if it can use your DECC socket implementation (it can if it is recent enough, V 5.x or later).

How do I test if these are installed? Thanks
