Yes. However, since I don't know how to conditionally apply patches 
(although I see it's under discussion), it's much less obtrusive to do 
something a little simpler (#ifndef __vax__).

The changes to lib/builtin.pm and lib/builtin.t don't affect the building 
of perl on VAX, so they're unaffected. The patch is in pkgsrc now.

Excellent, and thanks!
