In answering a StackOverflow question, I did a quick grep for what Perl
actually does with vfork after going through the trouble detecting it. The
answer appears to be: nothing.
Looks like it was eliminated 11 years ago by Sarathy.

Any strong objections to eliminating the associated vfork debris? Looks like
config stuff, hint files, and some special VMS code can all just be deleted.
