Thanks for the additional testing, and consider how picky we've gotten that 99.39% 
successful is considered bad news.  I get all tests successful on OpenVMS Alpha 7.2-1 
and 7.3-1.  I get two test failures on OpenVMS Alpha 7.1, a six-year-old release that 
needs various patches applied (to the system, not Perl).

Do you get the same failures from "MMK test" that you get from the harness?  I haven't 
tested the harness in some time and wouldn't be surprised if some additional porting 
might be required.

I don't think PERL_SETUP.COM is going to have any effect on running the test suite 
(though it does get used by MMK install).  The value of the PERL_ROOT logical name 
will determine which Perl you're using when you type "perl harness".
