Subject: VMS warning breaks Makefile.PL in older Perls
The VMS message at the beginning of the Makefile.PL causes a compile-time failure under versions previous to 5.6.1 with the error 'In string, @decus now must be written as \@decus at Makefile.PL line 15, near "Martin P.J. Zinser (zinser@decus'". (In later versions of perl, it will merely fail to generate the desired output under VMS.) Easily fixed by doing precisely what the error message suggests. Test systems were version 5.004_04 built for IP27-irix, v5.6.0 built for ppc-linux, and v5.6.1 built for i686-linux (pretending to be VMS, since I don't have one of those handy).
