First the good news, I squashed all but one of the test problems.

Standard options, I just did not do a "-des" build since I wanted to see
if there was new stuff in configure ;-)

As for the environment:

I did that and it clued me in on one reason. I did use a special account
for this test (with an "empty" environment). As it turns out this was a 
bit too empty, to be exact, the sys$login directory did not exist. Creating
that did solve most of the problems but

lib/ExtUtils/t/Command...............FAILED at test 2
$     @ [.VMS]TEST .EXE "" -"v" [-.lib.extutils.t]command.t
...
1..27
ok 1 - use ExtUtils::Command;
not ok 2 - found one file
LIB/EXTUTILS/T/COMMAND....FAILED at test 2

That might still be another setup issue, but unfortunatly I right now do 
not have the time to investigate.
 
Did you notice that @INC still has that weired mixture of VMS and Unix syntax?
As I said this account has no private environment at all, just the base 
logicals OpenVMS brings in.
