-S<Mac OS X> and S<Mac OS X Server>, based on NeXT's OpenStep OS, will
-(in theory) be able to run MacPerl natively, under the "Classic"
-environment. The new "Cocoa" environment (formerly called the "Yellow Box")
-may run a slightly modified version of MacPerl, using the Carbon interfaces.

-S<Mac OS X Server> and its Open Source version, Darwin, both run Unix
-perl natively (with a few patches). Full support for these
-is slated for perl 5.6.

Not implemented. (Plan9, Win32)
+=item exit EXPR
+
+=item exit
+
+Emulates UNIX exit() (which considers C<exit 1> to indicate an error) by
+mapping the C<1> to SS$_ABORT (C<44>). This behavior may be overridden
+with the pragma C<use vmsish 'exit'>. As with the CRTL's exit()
+function, C<exit 0> is also mapped to an exit status of SS$_NORMAL
+(C<1>); this mapping cannot be overridden. Any other argument to exit()
+is used directly as Perl's exit status. (VMS)

=item getsockopt SOCKET,LEVEL,OPTNAME
Not implemented. (S<Mac OS>, Plan9)
=item glob
-Globbing built-in, but only C<*> and C<?> metacharacters are supported.
-(S<Mac OS>)
-
This operator is implemented via the File::Glob extension on most
platforms. See L<File::Glob> for portability information.
=item kill SIGNAL, LIST
-Not implemented, hence not useful for taint checking. (S<Mac OS>,
-S<RISC OS>)
+C<kill(0, LIST)> is implemented for the sake of taint checking;
+use with other signals is unimplemented. (S<Mac OS>)
+
+Not implemented, hence not useful for taint checking. (S<RISC OS>)
C<kill()> doesn't have the semantics of C<raise()>, i.e. it doesn't send
a signal to the identified process like it does on Unix platforms.
=item pipe READHANDLE,WRITEHANDLE
-Not implemented. (S<Mac OS>)
-
Very limited functionality. (MiNT)
=item readlink EXPR
=item socketpair SOCKET1,SOCKET2,DOMAIN,TYPE,PROTOCOL
-Not implemented. (S<Mac OS>, Win32, VMS, S<RISC OS>, VOS, VM/ESA)
+Not implemented. (Win32, VMS, S<RISC OS>, VOS, VM/ESA)
=item stat FILEHANDLE
Does not automatically flush output handles on some platforms.
(SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX)
+The return value is POSIX-like (shifted up by 8 bits), which only allows
+room for a made-up value derived from the severity bits of the native
+32-bit condition code (unless overridden by C<use vmsish 'status'>).
+For more details see L<perlvms/$?>. (VMS)
+
=item times
Only the first entry returned is nonzero. (S<Mac OS>)
=item truncate EXPR,LENGTH
-Not implemented. (VMS)
+Not implemented. (Older versions of VMS)
Truncation to zero-length only. (VOS)
If a FILEHANDLE is supplied, it must be writable and opened in append
-mode (i.e., use C<open(FH, '>>filename')>
+mode (i.e., use C<<< open(FH, '>>filename') >>>
or C<sysopen(FH,...,O_APPEND|O_RDWR)>. If a filename is supplied, it
should not be held open elsewhere. (Win32)
