Cannot portably split on $Config{path_sep} -- use quotemeta($Config{path_sep}).

On VMS we were getting:
$ perl -"MConfig" -e "print join('+',split $Config{path_sep}, 'foo|bar|baz');"
f+o+o+|+b+a+r+|+b+a+z
which is a *lot* more pieces than we want. What was intended was:
$ perl -"MConfig" -e "print join('+',split quotemeta($Config{path_sep}), 'foo|bar|baz');"
foo+bar+baz
No version bump as this is test infrastructure and 1.55 has not been
released outside of development releases of blead.
