Write an entry, whose name is equivalent to the file name provided to
-disk. Optionally takes a second parameter, which is the full (unix)
+disk. Optionally takes a second parameter, which is the full native
path (including filename) the entry will be written to.
For example:
### it's a relative path ###
} else {
my $cwd = (defined $self->{cwd} ? $self->{cwd} : cwd());
- my @dirs = File::Spec::Unix->splitdir( $dirs );
- my @cwd = File::Spec->splitdir( $cwd );
- $dir = File::Spec->catdir( @cwd, @dirs );
- # catdir() returns undef if the path is longer than 255 chars on VMS
+
+
+ my @dirs = defined $alt
+ ? File::Spec->splitdir( $dirs ) # It's a local-OS path
+ : File::Spec::Unix->splitdir( $dirs ); # it's UNIX-style, likely
+ # straight from the tarball
+
+ ### '.' is the directory delimiter, of which the first one has to
+ ### be escaped/changed.
+ map tr/\./_/, @dirs if ON_VMS;
+
+ my ($cwd_vol,$cwd_dir,$cwd_file)

+ ### We need to pass '' as the last elemant to catpath. Craig Berry
+ ### explains why (msgid <p0624083dc311ae541393@[172.16.52.1]>):
+ ### The root problem is that splitpath on UNIX always returns the
+ ### final path element as a file even if it is a directory, and of
+ ### course there is no way it can know the difference without checking
+ ### against the filesystem, which it is documented as not doing. When
+ ### you turn around and call catpath, on VMS you have to know which bits
+ ### are directory bits and which bits are file bits. In this case we
+ ### know the result should be a directory. I had thought you could omit
+ ### the file argument to catpath in such a case, but apparently on UNIX
+ ### you can't.
+ $dir = File::Spec->catpath(
+ $cwd_vol, File::Spec->catdir( @cwd, @dirs ), ''
+ );

+ ### catdir() returns undef if the path is longer than 255 chars on VMS
