As you might be able to infer from the missing header, I couldn't get
perlbug to run properly on VMS, as I couldn't figure out the name of and
editor which would work.
system LIST on VMS appears to split on all spaces. Contrast:
$ perl -w
system 'perl', '-le', 'print@ARGV', 'a', 'b c'
__END__
abc
$ perl -w
system 'perl', '-le', 'print @ARGV', 'a', 'b c'
__END__
$
This appears not to be documented as a limitation in pod/perlport.pod
Is it a bug which can be fixed, or does it need to be documented as a
portability limitation?
