I've just uploaded Compress::Zlib 2.000_03 onto CPAN. This should hopefully
silence some of the failures on VMS.

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.
