Well, actually, that wasn't quite right. We should never reference
the PERLSHR logical name in this context. During a core build, if it
exists it will refer to an installed Perl, not the one we're
building. When building an extension against an installed Perl, it
doesn't buy us anything over PERL_SRC because of the way perl_root
works on VMS. So, here's my second and hopefully final attempt at this.
