In vmsish.h:

from traditional VMS specific ino_t array type and standard 64 bit ino_t
type.


In vms.c:

1. Set default to have /dev/null work around active until it can be
verified that the problem is fixed.  The logical name DECC_BUG_DEVNULL
can be used to deactivate the work around.

2. Convert all ino_t compares or assignments to use the macros in vmsish.h.

3. Fix the test for /dev/null to only check the first 9 characters.

Thanks, applied as #27015.

I am curious. Why would you not want to simply define _USE_STD_STAT? Is it because this feature is not available on the VAX? How old of a VMS version does this version of Perl need to compile on?
