Looking over what I have different than blead for the Unix Compatibility
and Extended character set support, these are the outstanding items:
lib/File/Compare.t
Patch submitted previously to properly diagnose VMS todo issues.
Miscellaneous fixes to Install.
lib/ExtUtils/Install.pm
lib/ExtUtils/t/INST.t
lib/ExtUtils/t/INST_PREFIX.t
Submitted to cpan.org
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=42149
Update MakeMaker to support VMS in Unix or Extended character set mode.
Without this update, MakeMaker is still using teh eliminate_macros() and
fixpath() in File::Spec::VMS instead of its internal ones.
lib/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm
lib/ExtUtils/MM_VMS.pm
lib/ExtUtils/t/recurs.t
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=42151
Only update %ENV{'bin'} if it exists. This module is common to
ExtUtils::MakeMaker and ExtUtils::Install.
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=42150
Add support for testing VMS when it is returning Posix exit codes, and
also fix an issue generating the perl command.
lib/Test/Simple/t/exit.t
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=42150
Make sure that values passed to DCL command lines are in VMS format.
lib/ExtUtils/t/Embed.t
Module build fixes,
Many fixes, need to merge Unix fixes submitted on earlier with the patch
Craig submitted on ticket 42724
lib/Module/Build/Base.pm
lib/Module/Build/Compat.pm
lib/Module/Build/Platform/VMS.pm
lib/Module/Build/t/compat.t
lib/Module/Build/t/install.t
lib/Module/Build/t/metadata.t
lib/Module/Build/t/lib/DistGen.pm
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?&id=42724
With these, I am only seeing three failures in the automated run:
lib/Thread/Queue/t/02_refs.t
lib/vmsish.t - gmtime issue.
op/utftaint.t - taint issue that was present in my Perl 5.10 tests.
