First off, I downloaded the pre-built 5.4.4 binaries for Vax/VMS 6.2

unfortunately LWP requires Perl 5.6 or later. Argh.
I think there are some 5.6.1 binaries around, in case that helps, or
at least a perlbuild.zip that contains 5.6.1.
OK, I then thought the easiest way would be to use Craig Berry's
PERLBUILD584.ZIP as that seems to include what we need. Sadly the
build
is failing so I would greatly appreciate some pointers on where to go
next.
(Using VMS 6.2 on Vax 4000-105A, DEC C v5.5-002 (though the build
procedure reports 50590002), MMS v3.1-03)
Here is the last part of the log:-
Making Time/HiRes (dynamic)
Configuring Time::HiRes...
Your operating system does not seem to have the gettimeofday()
function.
(or, at least, I cannot find it)
There is no way Time::HiRes is going to work.
I am awfully sorry but I cannot go further.
Aborting configuration.
Looking for gettimeofday()...
%RMS-E-FNF, file not found
%RMS-E-FNF, file not found
%MMS-F-ABORT, For target DYNEXT, CLI returned abort status:
%X00018292.
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found
The first thing I would try would be to see if a newer version of
Time::HiRes from CPAN has any workarounds for the absence of
gettimeofday(). The second thing I would try would be to excise
Time::HiRes from the kit and see if you can live without it.
