Don't do that.  There are new breakages on VMS at least since MM 6.21
if not earlier.  In current maintperl and bleadperl I'm seeing these
failures

lib/ExtUtils/t/Constant..............FAILED at test 27
lib/ExtUtils/t/INST_PREFIX...........FAILED at test 41

plus when doing a core build all the XS code gets compiled again when
making the "test" target.  Hopefully I'll find time to look into
these or at least file a proper bug report one of these days.

BTW, the "obscure" URL is just

www.makemaker.org
