Right now 04_cpanplus-Module is failing for at least the following reasons:

The rename() routine in most versions of the VMS CRTL will not rename
directories. It returns an error on the attempt.
Some versions of VMS have a feature setting that changes this behavior.
This patch implements a Perl_rename() that operates the same way as
rename() does on UNIX as far as di
The attached patch file_path_pm.gdiff handles a special case of a
filename named "." on VMS that is not a directory. If rmtree() is
called on a directory with this present, it causes an infinite recursion.
As failed Perl tests on VMS tend to leave a file named "." behind as a
result of a file
This patch makes the following changes:
In lib/Archive/Tar.pm, currently Perl on VMS can not fully deal with
directory specifications that have C<.> characters in them. Internally
the VMS.C module currently translates them to C<_> characters.
In the future as Perl on VMS learns how to handle
In lib/CPANPLUS/Internals/Extract.pm, VMS needs to use catfile to deal
with combining path components that could include a file name component.
If C will work for all platforms, then the test for VMS can be
removed.
