The newest snapshot contains the following line in the manifest:

ext/Encode/Encode/euc-jp+0212.ucm       Encode table

$ create "euc-jp+0212.ucm"
%CREATE-E-OPENOUT, error opening D0:"EUC-JP+0212.UCM".; as output
-RMS-F-FNM, error in file name

Quoting from the guide to file applications located here:

===begin quoted material====

On OpenVMS Alpha and VAX systems, on ODS-5 and ODS-2 devices, a basic 
set of simple characters is valid for the node, device, root, 
directory, and file name and type components of a file specification. 
These characters include the following:

  Upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters: 

           A - Z, a - z, 0 - 9 

  Special ASCII (7-bit) characters: 

           $ -  _ ~ 

===end quoted material====

Though as we also saw recently, the hyphen can cause trouble if it 
ends up as part of a module name in a linker options file.
