You're safe with MM[SK], since each invocation spawns off a subprocess
in which the commands get executed, so process logicals won't propagate
from one run to the next.  You may get bitten my some versions of Make
which build a DCL procedure and then execute it in the current process.
(Dunno whether anyone's using them; it's been a _long_ time since we
supported make for VMS perl.  I hope David Denholm's still well out
there somewhere.)
