This is what is still different from what I have.  From the earlier 
discussion, it looks like some commits might have been made to blead 
that did not show up in perl.perl5.changes.  When that happens, my copy 
of blead gets out of synch.

Some of these are in, but some are not.
lib/ExtUtils.CBuilder.Platform/VMS.pm

lib/Module/Build/Compat.pm  - Ticket 41331.

lib/ExtUtils.Cbuilder.t]01-basic.t
lib/ExtUtils.Cbuilder.t]02-link.t
I thought I have this filed somewhere in the above tickets, but this is 
an issue of the test leaving work files behind.  Not sure where the bug 
is right now.


lib/Module/Build/t/extend.t
lib/Module/Build/t/install.t
lib/Module/Build/t/metadata.t
lib/Module/Build/t/runthrough.t
lib/Module/Build/t/lib/DistGen.pm

These should be in the above CPAN tickets for Module Build.


lib/File/Compare.t has existing bugs that show up when VMS is run with 
the extended filename character set enabled.  I submitted a patch that 
diagnoses the bugs to explain why the test will not work until Perl is 
updated.  This was submitted to blead, so I do not have a ticket.

t/op/taint.t has a test that is exposing an tainting issue on VMS when 
run with a world writable temp directory.  I submitted a patch to skip 
the tests with a TODO.  This was submitted to blead so I do not have a 
ticket.
