RC1 being out, we're in code freeze. I would have trusted you both on
a patch limited at vms/* files, but, I want to be extra conservative
on dual-life modules, esp. the ones that are known to cause

the moment...
That means also that the vms/* changes (or some of) might go in if
Craig judges they're safe, and Cwd be changed (on CPAN) later.
The cwd.t in blead may not be properly testing symbolic links now on all
platforms, one of the things this patch does is restore its behavior to
match what is in CPAN. Prior to this patch, cwd.t in blead was also not
creating a valid symbolic link on VMS.
The Cwd.pm in blead is different than CPAN right now for VMS, where the
CPAN copy will return a valid filename that is not really the primary
absolute path as is done on Unix. The existing Cwd.pm VMS code in blead
has a bug where it assumes that the current working directory is correct
for the contents of the symbolic link.
