The latest MakeMaker snapshot (www.makemaker.org) is feeling much better
about VMS. Its down to a small handful of problems, the major one being
a bug in the doc_*_install targets having to do with perllocal.pod not
being properly created. I should be able to fix that one tommorrow.
Still need help with the newline escaping in order to test split_command().
Not yet sure why install.t is failing or why 'mmk pm_to_blib' doesn't
show any skip messages, just copies.
Here's what I see when running the snapshot on VMS against 5.8.0:
