+[ 12391] By: jhi on 2001/10/10 12:22:02
+ Log: Fix/improve handling of the [000000] special "root"
+ directory, by putting cwd in canonical form when doing
+ abs2rel, and prepending a 000000 to directory "chunks"
+ if missing from base or path. Also adjust test to
+ reflect the (improved) output from abs2rel.

+ Log: In VMS the copy-to-untaint %ENV in the initialization also loses
+ all of the extra VMSish attributes (such as "treat this logical
+ as a device name") that are necessary to make programs run.
+ A tainted %ENV does not hinder VMS. From Charles Lane.

+[ 12389] By: jhi on 2001/10/10 11:40:29
+ Log: VMS-specific fixes to the ExtUtils::Manifest tests.
+
+ o VMS is case-insensitive, RTL downcases filenames read
+ by perl... so need to re-upcase filenames like MANIFEST
+ and MANIFEST.SKIP
+
+ o Need to convert VMS-style to Unix-style filenames when comparing
+ names in MANIFEST to names in filesystem.
+
+ o Need to remove mantest/MANIFEST before rmdir'ing mantest,
+ since VMS won't let you (easily) delete non-empty directories.
+
+ From Charles Lane.

+[ 12388] By: jhi on 2001/10/10 11:28:44
+ Log: Unix and VMS agree on "*" as a "match any number of any chars"
+ wildcards, but differ ("?" vs. "%") for their "match any single
+ char" wildcard. This patch changes "?" chars to "%" before doing a
+ VMS glob...at no loss of functionality, since "?" isn't a valid
+ filename char on VMS. From Charles Lane.

+ Log: Even more VMS tweakage from Charles Lane:
+
+ Tweak #1: splitdir only works on directory part of filespec,
+ split off volume first
+ Tweak #2: VMS pre-7.0's $ENV{'HOME'} is not settable
+ (it's a horrible kludge in the run-time library,
+ improved in later versions). Check the
+ $Config{'d_setenv'} flag before attempting to set it.
