John,
Thanks for all your good work on this. I've sprinkled in a few
comments below, but it shouldn't be too tough to get this work
incorporated into the authoritative sources, though I can't make any
promises about when that will happen.

I think this needs to be the unixy equivalent of perl_root:[000000].
So are you saying that when we translate /perl_root to VMS syntax,
that's what we'll now get?

Same or similar patch is already in.

Large file support is already in, so for this to be applied, we will
have to sort out what's new.

Last time I checked, Itanium systems return zero for
f$getsyi("HW_MODEL"). The archname symbol should already have one of
VMS_VAX, VMS_AXP, or VMS_IA64, and the vms_ver symbol should already
have the VMS version.
