It's in subversion - but not the MANIFEST. I've just committed a fix  
for that.

I imported them from Test::Harness:

http://search.cpan.org/src/PETDANCE/Test-Harness-2.64/t/sample-tests/die

They're used to exercise TAP::Harness::Compatible.

I'm tempted to replace

use if ($^O eq 'VMS'), vmsish => 'hushed';

with

eval "use vmsish 'hushed'" if $^O eq 'VMS';

but I won't be able to test it on VMS.

Alternately I could wait until Andy Lester comes online and ask him  
where /he/ got them from for Test::Harness.
