I've finally got Test::Smoke mostly working on VMS except for my local mail configuration, thus the manual attachment here. It shows the only failures I've seen recently:

lib/ExtUtils/t/ Installapi2....................................FAILED at test 15 lib/ExtUtils/t/ Install........................................FAILED at test 15

which started happening occasionally (but not consistently) after Yves' recent changes to ExtUtils::Install. When I run these tests individually they usually (though not always) fail once and then succeed when run again. The test that fails is the same in both scripts and looks like:

install( { 'blib/lib' => 'install-test/lib/perl',
           read   => 'install-test/packlist',
           write  => 'install-test/packlist'
         },
       0, 1);
ok( ! -d 'install-test/lib/perl',        'install made dir (dry run)');


So it's testing for the non-existence of a directory that should not be there because we only did a dry run. The most likely explanation is something is not getting cleaned up properly elsewhere so we are finding something we shouldn't. So far I have not been able to spot why the fairly minimal recent changes would cause that, but I'll keep looking.
