It's looking like we'll get a release candidate for Perl 5.10.1 in the  
next week or two.  Indications are it will be the best ever Perl on  
VMS release, but it would be helpful if the so-called perldelta, the  
changes since the previous release, could be updated for accuracy and  
completeness.  What's in there so far is below.  I will see what I can  
come up with, but people who know things (especially John M.), should  
give a holler with relevant details.

=head3 VMS

Reads from C<PerlIO::scalar>'s in-memory temporary files used to fail  
if C<$/>
was set to a numeric reference, to signal record-style reads. This is  
now fixed.

VMS now supports C<getgrgid>.

Many improvements and cleanups have been made to the VMS file name  
handling
and conversion code.

=for comment

XXX I'd mention PERL_VMS_POSIX_EXIT but it doesn't seem to be  
documented anywhere.
