I tested it against [EMAIL PROTECTED] Complete harness output is below.
It may not be as bad as it looks in that it appears a handful of
issues recur repeatedly. It will take me some time to understand
Module::Build well enough to debug these.

Can't cd to D0:[CRAIG.perl.t._tmp.Simple]: no such file or directory
Is there something wrong with that path name? The different case for
D0 and CRAIG? The _ in _tmp? Most of the tests use lib/DistGen.pm to
generate directories of test files and cd into them to run their
tests. If that's not working, that's the first thing to try to fix.
Are you sure that the code is trying to create a directory named "_tmp"?
It might be trying to create a directory named ".tmp" which while the
VMS code in Perl should treat as "_tmp", there may still be some cases
where that does not work so well.

all skipped: Don't know how to invoke 'make'
compat.t tests that the different flavors of compatibility
Makefile.PLs work with the "perl Makefile.PL; make" approach.
Does VMS have $Config{make} set to something suitable? If so,
perhaps the find_in_path($Config{make}) check is making this
whole test skipped when it shouldn't be?
I do not know if VMS has $Config{make} set.
Can't locate object method "eliminate_macros" via package
"Module::Build" at /D0/CRAIG/PERL/lib/Module/Build/Platform/VMS.pm line 85
Hmm, looks like some code mistranslated from what makemaker did.
And it looks like there's some kind of incestuous relationship
between File::Spec and makemaker wrt eliminate_macros. Yuck.
Yep. Perl on VMS implemented environment variables differently than the
way that the MMS/MMS (Make type programs) can handle them, so such
macros can not be put in DESCRIP.MMS (a makefile equivalent) so
makemaker is compensating for it.
