I have not tested this or anything on 5.8.7, I am in the process of
moving my changes over to 5.8.7.

chdir.t

This is just something I found while testing, chdir.t needs to clean up
it's changes to SYS$LOGIN so it does not mess up the VMS session when it
is run outside of the Perl test harness.

defins.t

It is now a bit more complicated to be sure that you expect the CRTL to
return a VMS filename.

lex_assign.t

Another one of the MCR cases that I missed on my previous e-mail.
Probably a better fix is to just remove the VMS specific MCR handling,
as Perl already knows how to handle either a UNIX or VMS file specification.

stat.t

First fix is that Perl is able to find the UNIX utilities in GNV,
especially if the CRTL is in a UNIX or POSIX mode. Unfortunately this
test tries to run "ls" as a DCL command. Since LSE or the Language
Sensitive Editor was installed on my test system, it got run instead.

The second thing is that I just noticed that the st_nlinks test is
disabled on VMS. That should be following the appropriate LINK support.
But since I do not know if that also requires use of the standard stat
structure that is provided with 8.2, so for now just marked it as a TO
DO item.
