Maybe something involving syscall?

    Says it's not implemented in VMS, but you might try calling syscall() with no args just to see what happens. Other than that, I think you'd need to use XS.
      Thank you for your answer.

      It confirms that syscall is not implemented with a one-liner test:

      The syscall function is unimplemented at -e line 1.
      I will not try to write XS code under VMS, my knowledge of the VMS internals is much too poor. I guess I'll have to live with the work around described earlier.

      Thank you anyway for your effort.
