Aha.  The ZIP files distributed on CPAN are created on and for
Windows.  You'll want the .tar.gz version, which unfortunately means
acquiring vmstar and gunzip if you don't already have them.  These
are available from numerous VMS freeware sites.

Alternately there is a zipped archive of 5.6.1 (plus some extra
extensions) available at <http://www.sidhe.org/vmsperl>.  That zip
file was created on VMS so it won't cause any problems.
