The build went great! It just seems a little fuzzy around the edges. I
tried perlbug, but the symbol definition is commented out in
perl_root:perl_setup.com. I'll do my best to be concise:

The problems occured when I tried to install the Clone module.
I had to copy fakethr.h and perlsfio.h from perl_root:[000000] to
PERL_ROOT:[LIB.VMS_AXP.5_8_0.CORE]
The descrip.mms incorrect specified /optimize=3. It should have been
/optimize=level=3
With these changes, the module built, tested, and installed without error.
I am using the "use lib" pragma so that I can drop my script and it's
environment on a system with a stock installation of perl. This all works
fine on Win32. On VMS I get the following:
Can't locate loadable object for module Clone in @INC (@INC contains:

If I take the "_" off, perl is able to find the Clone module just fine.
