Two things:
1. What do you mean by "an excellent working Perl"? I did have tests
above 99% as well, but if chown and chmod don't work where I need them,
it's of no use at all.
2. IF you _know_ which test fail on OpenVMS, mention them and, if
possible, tell why it fails (like the one you mentioned here).
Either fix the error of leave it out (and tell what features are missing
(and why)). Some tests do tell "not tested on platform" so it IS a
possibility.
