I've just uploaded Compress::Zlib 2.000_03 onto CPAN. This should hopefully

Unfortunately search.cpan.org and nttp.cpan.org seem to be down right now.

But I am on the track for the problem. The Perl_cando() routine in vms.c is working on the wrong filename "usr:[share.misc]termcap" because of a bug in vms.c.

fstat() and stat()/lstat() are sharing a stat cache, and when the cache is holding a value returned by fstat(), the cached name of the last stat()/lstat() is not being changed, and that is then used to check if ACLs are affecting the access permissions.

It looks like I need to change vms.c and build a new Perl.
