They have 5.8.6 on the testdrive, so you shouldn't have to build your own perl to test modules. You should be able to ftp, gunzip, and tar -xvf more or less as you would anywhere. Instead of C<cd> you have C<set default> and C<show default>. Instead of C<make> you have C<mms>. You can enter C<unix vms translation> into Google and find lots of command references for further navigation. You can type C<bash> and get into a familiar shell for navigation and file manipulation, but I'm not sure the Perl port will function very well in that environment. Last but not least, to log off type C<logout> or C<eoj> (for end-of-job).
I've used this verbatim for http://perl-qa.hexten.net/wiki/index.php/Testing_on_VMS Hope that's OK? I'll add to that page as I learn more. -- Andy Armstrong, Hexten
