Given the following (or some variation on the following)
volume:[some.dir]
[.auto]
[.ExtUtils.MakeMaker]
.packlist
create a full path
volume:[some.dir.auto.ExtUtils.MakeMaker].packlist
in less work than:
perl "-MFile::Spec" -e "print File::Spec->catfile('volume:[some.dir]', '[.auto]',
'[.ExtUtils.MakeMaker]', '.packlist')"
using only *very* commonly available VMS tools.
Not only is the above ugly, but you have to run perl and load
File::Spec over and over again, which is expensive and slow on VMS.
