Not if the build and install trees are the same place. Running "MMS clean"
will remove a bunch of objects and .OLBs but likely render the build
tree in a state where you'd need to re-configure it to rebuild.
Running "mms install" with a PERL_ROOT defined to be different from the
build root will only copy .exe's and not .obj's over to the intended
install directory.

No on VMS they do not need to be separate, but for cleanliness (as you
apparently want) it helps if they are separate.
