Actually I think that the changes you posted was not merged into the 5.22 branch. This is from the 5.24.0 release notes:

The minimum supported version of VMS is now v7.3-2, released in 2003. As a side effect of this change, VAX is no longer supported as the terminal release of OpenVMS VAX was v7.3 in 2001.

So it seem 5.24.0 is the first release without VAX support.

I'm building 5.22.4 right now. Successfully build miniperl.exe and is now building the modules. Takes quite a while... We'll se if it's successful all the way.
