I think that the easiest way to address the prolem is, in perl5db.t,
to check for /dev/tty instead of /dev/null.
I actually added that condition (as change #30609), thanks.
This would also appear to cause the test to be skipped on VMS.
VMS does not currently have a /dev/tty, which is why the code assumes
SYS\$COMMAND instead.
That probably could be done better on VMS, but it will be a little while
before I have enough tuits free to look at it.
The impact of skipping this test on VMS is minor. The test is failing
right now anyway. As near as I can determine, the VMS specific code is
preventing the debugger from accepting a script for input instead of the
command terminal.
I would also advise any VMS maintainers not to assume that testing for
/dev/tty will fail on VMS. Even on older releases, directory structures
and logical names can cause a false positive. And /dev/tty may start
working in a future release of VMS.
