Not quite.  I believe you refer to this part of my announcement on openssl-dev:

That was perl in general, not perl on VMS specifically.  The report is based on what versions of core modules came with different versions of perl, and someone (I can't remember who for the moment) helped me determine that 5.10.1 had good enough compatibility.  Of course, that person is based on Unix.

But anyhow, this discussion tells me I should avoid realpath() like the plague, at least on VMS.  I'll see what I can figure out (I think rel2abs() from File::Spec might do the trick).
