so you have an unspeakable mash of incompatible syntax. The fact

doing.
There are a couple of bugs here that require working around for now.
Steve Hay identified a bug in splitpath on Win32
: This breaks on Win32. File::Spec->splitpath() returns three
: items, which don't necessarily have the correct flavour of
: slash (backslash or forward slash) on Win32:
:
: $INC{'Module/Load/Conditional.pm'}=
: '../../../../Module/Load/Conditional.pm'
: @rv_path = ('', '..\..\..\..\Module\Load\', 'Conditional.pm')
: File::Spec::Unix->catfile(@rv_path)=
: '..\..\..\..\Module\Load\/Conditional.pm'
On VMS, splitdir() can not handle UNIX syntax, and splitpath
unexpectedly converts the file specification to VMS. Both of these
things need to be fixed in order for Perl to function properly when the
VMS CRTL is put into UNIX mode, such as needed for running under Bash.
I have it working now on VMS and it should still work on other
platforms. A patch fixing this and a related problem will be coming
very shortly.
