Great - thanks.
I wonder what effect this ECO mentioned in README.vms would have (if any)?
=item - ALPACRT ECO
On the AXP, if SYSNAM privilege is enabled, the CRTL chdir() routine
changes the process default device and directory permanently, even
though the call specified that the change should not persist after
Perl exited. This is fixed by DEC CSC patch ALPACRT04_061 or later.

Nevertheless I agree that removing the trailing slash is the way to go.
Many thanks again.
