Make perlio line buffer VMS record-oriented files on output.
When perlio flushes down to the unix layer, it can introduce a spurious record boundary when writing to a record-oriented file. Perl may create such files when doing edit-in-place or any other context where the file format is inherited from a previous version of the file. The problem can be eliminated by enabling line buffering on such files when they are opened. This was a regression in 5.10.0 since before that stdio's buffering performed the same function. N.B. Lines longer than the size of the perlio buffer will still result in multiple records -- a larger buffer may be necessary. For more details and discussion see: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.vmsperl/2010/11/msg15419.html Thanks to Martin Zinser for the problem report.
