Ironically, I only made the changes to pod/*.t because I knew neither
t/TEST nor t/harness actually ran any of those tests, and I ass_u_med
VMS wouldn't run them either because I saw some VMS code in t/TEST.
Note that these tests still aren't run in 5.6.1 on any platform that
uses TEST or harness, so I felt pretty safe in making the change.

The change in question is this one:

    http://public.ActiveState.com/gsar/APC/5.6.1/diffs/9624.gz

Now, it's still not clear to me how the tests passed in foolperl on VMS
when @INC wasn't set correctly in the pod/*.t tests.  Are the tests
being run on VMS with the moral equivalent of "perl -I../lib ..."?

I guess the moral here is to integrate the VMS test harness into
t/TEST or t/harness, or something.
