I've tested the latest snapshot against [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-1.

Here's what I see when running the Makefile.PL:

Argument "6.06_03" isn't numeric in numeric lt (<) at makefile.pl line 32.
Checking if your kit is complete...
Warning: the following files are missing in your kit:
        meta.yml
Please inform the author.
Warning: prerequisite Pod::Man 0 not found.
Writing Descrip.MMS for ExtUtils::MakeMaker

After that it builds fine but fails two tests:

Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of Failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t/basic.t     44  1024    48   19  39.58%  22-26 31-32 35-45 48
t/install.t   44  1024    18    3  16.67%  9 13 17
7 tests and 54 subtests skipped.
Failed 2/30 test scripts, 93.33% okay. 22/454 subtests failed, 95.15% okay.

basic.t manages to crash Perl with an access violation (seg fault). 
I will try to investigate these issues more later.

The patch below corrects a couple of small nits I noticed while 
reading the descrip.mms; neither of the test failures is addressed
