How portable is this? I see there's some minimal VMS and OS/2 code in there, will it work?
It should work. Though I've never actually *seen* a VMS or OS/2 machine, so I'm not actually sure they exist.
All the cpantesters reports are pretty peachy, but there really aren't many exotic platforms there:

If it doesn't work on all platforms, those are bugs that need to be fixed.
