SYNOPSIS
require File::Spec::VMS; # Done internally by File::Spec if needed
DESCRIPTION
See File::Spec::Unix for a documentation of the methods pro-
vided there. This package overrides the implementation of
these methods, not the semantics.
canonpath (override)
Removes redundant portions of file specifications
according to VMS syntax.
catdir (override)
Concatenates a list of file specifications, and returns
the result as a VMS-syntax directory specification. No
check is made for "impossible" cases (e.g. elements
other than the first being absolute filespecs).
catfile (override)
Concatenates a list of file specifications, and returns
the result as a VMS-syntax file specification.
curdir (override)
Returns a string representation of the current direc-
tory: '[]'
devnull (override)
Returns a string representation of the null device:
'_NLA0:'
rootdir (override)
Returns a string representation of the root directory:
'SYS$DISK:[000000]'
tmpdir (override)
Returns a string representation of the first writable
directory from the following list or '' if none are
writable:
sys$scratch:
$ENV{TMPDIR}
Since perl 5.8.0, if running under taint mode, and if
$ENV{TMPDIR} is tainted, it is not used.
updir (override)
Returns a string representation of the parent directory:
'[-]'

case_tolerant (override)
VMS file specification syntax is case-tolerant.
path (override)
Translate logical name DCL$PATH as a searchlist, rather
than trying to "split" string value of $ENV{'PATH'}.
file_name_is_absolute (override)
Checks for VMS directory spec as well as Unix separa-
tors.
splitpath (override)
Splits using VMS syntax.
splitdir (override)
Split dirspec using VMS syntax.
catpath (override)
Construct a complete filespec using VMS syntax
abs2rel (override)
Use VMS syntax when converting filespecs.
rel2abs (override)
Use VMS syntax when converting filespecs.
