I don't have access to a VMS system.

I'd like to rearrange some of the build system for core perl, but I don't want
to break VMS in the process.

Would someone be able to test install 3 Pod related modules on VMS:

http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/T/TJ/TJENNESS/Pod-LaTeX-0.58.tar.gz
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/M/MA/MAREKR/Pod-Parser-1.38.tar.gz
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/R/RR/RRA/podlators-2.3.1.tar.gz


Specifically, I believe that the perl core currently installs to the same
location as the perl binary, 6 perl scripts suitably wrapped for VMS, as

    pod2latex.com
    pod2man.com
    pod2text.com
    pod2usage.com
    podchecker.com
    podselect.com

(pod2html.com comes from Pod::HTML, which is not a distribution on CPAN)

Do the above 3 modules correctly install their respective scripts when built
on VMS? From looking at Makefile.PL in each, I'm not convinced that all
correctly get the "install" part right.
