OK after building and installing RC2 on Win NT 4 with MSVC 5
I see this after attempting to C<use vmsish;>
D:\perl_rc2>./5.6.0/bin/MSWin32-x86/perl -Mvmsish -e "print 'hello'"
Can't locate vmsish.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
D:/perl_rc2/5.6.0/lib/MSWin32-x86 D:/perl_rc2/5.6.0/lib
D:/perl_rc2/site/5.6.0/lib/MSWin32-x86 D:/perl_rc2/site/5 .6.0/lib .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
So I patch the win32\Makefile (leaving the makefile.mk to someone who
uses dmake) like so:

End of Patch.
Now after running `nmake install` I see:
D:\perl-5.6.0-RC2\win32>d:\perl_rc2\5.6.0\bin\mswin32-x86\perl -Mvmsish -e "print
'hello'"
This isn't VMS at -e line 0
Compilation failed in require.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
So it didn't work anyway ;-)
