Finally, each test run for CPANPLUS is appending a path on to $ENV

out why yet.
It does not take too many runs, and the PERL5LIB path gets so long
that VMS arbitrarily breaks it into two elements, neither of which
is a valid path on VMS.
Actually, it doesn't attempt to clean this up -- all OS's I know (and
obviously,
I don't know VMS ;) reset %ENV after they have exited, so there's no
need to
worry about this.
I've added the following bit of code to the include file, right at
the top to
make sure that %ENV gets reset to whatever it was it began with.
Hopefully, that solves the problem you're encountering on VMS.

How do I prove I'm not crazy to people who are?
