+(installed as L<perlvos>). Perl on VOS can accept either VOS- or
+Unix-style file specifications as in either of the following:
$ perl -ne "print if /perl_setup/i" >system>notices
$ perl -ne "print if /perl_setup/i" /system/notices

file names to 32 or fewer characters.
-The following C functions are unimplemented on VOS, and any attempt by
-Perl to use them will result in a fatal error message and an immediate
-exit from Perl: dup, do_aspawn, do_spawn, fork, waitpid. Once these
-functions become available in the VOS POSIX.1 implementation, you can
-either recompile and rebind Perl, or you can download a newer port from
-ftp.stratus.com.
+See F<README.vos> for restrictions that apply when Perl is built

+Perl on VOS is built without any extensions and does not support
