Problem with perl after upgrade

[Jerome LAURET]

        Hello there,

        Here we go : another OpenVMS7.2 problem but related to
perl this time so I thought that this group would be able to
answer this quickly. 

        I am using perl version 5.004_04 built on VMS_AXP.
        I haven't recompiled perl since a long time ...
        I haven't added any module for some time.
        It used to work all fine and nicely.

        Now if I do
$ perl -e "use CGI;"    ! Some scripts uses this

        I get

Fatal VMS error (status=100052) at PERL_ROOT:[000000]VMS.C;1, line 3700 at
/perl_root/lib/CGI.pm line 2735.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

        I do not have the source anymore but the CGI.pm says
on that line :
        do {$TMPDIRECTORY = $_; last} if -d $_ && -w _; 

        the returned directory is \usr\tmp\var\tmp\tmp (??) and
individual test -e/-w would be a success on such directory.

        Any idea of what's going on and/or how to patch it ?
