 Your katana is thirsty for blood, I see.  But how about a radical new
 idea of *asking* the VMS people *why* the exception was in the sdbm.t
 originally?

Daleks don't negociate. Exterminate! Exterminate Dan Sugalski! http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/1998-02/msg02848.html

What's with the $^O ne 'VMS' in sdbm.t, Dan?

I think it was a hack to work around other issues with the VMS build. IIRC it predated the whole Configure.com environment probe scheme, so we were still working on a custom config.h, build.mms, and a few other things. Looks like a good candidate for the dustbin of history.
