NAME
       Module::Build::Platform::VMS - Builder class for VMS platforms

DESCRIPTION
       This module inherits from "Module::Build::Base" and alters a few minor
       details of its functionality.  Please see Module::Build for the general
       docs.

       Overridden Methods

       _set_defaults
	   Change $self->{build_script} to 'Build.com' so @Build works.

       cull_args
	   '@Build foo' on VMS will not preserve the case of 'foo'.  Rather
	   than forcing people to write '@Build "foo"' we'll dispatch case-
	   insensitively.

       manpage_separator
	   Use '__' instead of '::'.

       prefixify
	   Prefixify taking into account VMS' filepath syntax.

       _quote_args
	   Command-line arguments (but not the command itself) must be quoted
	   to ensure case preservation.

       have_forkpipe
	   There is no native fork(), so some constructs depending on it are
	   not available.

       _backticks
	   Override to ensure that we quote the arguments but not the command.

       do_system
	   Override to ensure that we quote the arguments but not the command.

       _infer_xs_spec
	   Inherit the standard version but tweak the library file name to be
	   something Dynaloader can find.

       rscan_dir
	   Inherit the standard version but remove dots at end of name.	 This
	   may not be necessary if File::Find has been fixed or
	   DECC$FILENAME_UNIX_REPORT is in effect.

       dist_dir
	   Inherit the standard version but replace embedded dots with
	   underscores because a dot is the directory delimiter on VMS.

       man3page_name
	   Inherit the standard version but chop the extra manpage delimiter
	   off the front if there is one.  The VMS version of
	   splitdir('[.foo]') returns '', 'foo'.

       expand_test_dir
	   Inherit the standard version but relativize the paths as the native
	   glob() doesn't do that for us.

       _detildefy
	   The home-grown glob() does not currently handle tildes, so provide
	   limited support here.  Expect only UNIX format file specifications
	   for now.

       find_perl_interpreter
	   On VMS, $^X returns the fully qualified absolute path including
	   version number.  It's logically impossible to improve on it for
	   getting the perl we're currently running, and attempting to
	   manipulate it is usually lossy.
