Yes, that's better, though I think it is possible to put MMK in the
command tables if you want to, in which case

I prefer not to get the verbose output for such a large distribution
as Perl, though with the output going to a log file it probably
doesn't matter. The /date_policy=none is probably a good idea.

True. The script as I posted it is what I've been using for perhaps
a year or more and have done probably hundreds of development builds
with it. The option is a harmless noop if the version is
even-numbered, so I don't think I'll bother getting rid of it in my
copy.

I took a quick look once and it would require some porting. However,
it depends on t/harness which I think is more VMS-friendly than it
used to be, so it should be doable. I just haven't found time to do
it.
