   I had the same problem (on an 840) and called the local support
   centre - they were very helpful and acknowledged that it is a bug
   (fixed in HPUX 7.0).  The good news is that there is a work around.

Umm.  The bad news is that syscall on HP-UX seems to be buggy, just
like many other things on it.

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/stat.h>
     #include <syscall.h>
     main()
     {
       syscall(SYS_mkdir, "/usr/tmp/tst", 0755);
     }

You may wish to wait until all these problems are fixed.  I just
undef'ed SYSCALL in Perl's config.h.
