Thanks John. I've CCed Tom Hughes for the IO:Zlib results.
I did not realize at the time that I did the tests that they were not
the same ZLIB module.
I see that the majority of the failures match those that Abe Timmerman
reported earlier today. Apart from running with

I finally got a download of 2.00_03, and I have locally patched vms.c to
fix the fstat()/Perl_cando() issue.
So here are the results.
I probably will not have time to investigate the failure tonight as I
need to submit the patch to vms.c.

Thanks, John. I've applied your patch (in a slightly modified form) and
released a new beta, 0.13_01. It would be great if you (and/or a couple
other people on the vmsperl list) could try it out, and then I can
release 0.14 when it checks out.
It is not yet showing up
The VMS specific Perl_cando() on open file handles was returning the
results for a previous file that a stat()/lstat() that was done instead
of for the open file.
This was causing failures in the Compress-Zlib tests on my system.

It looks like I am finally close to starting to get the file spec
handling in Perl up to speed with current VMS versions.
In File::Spec::VMS, would it be appropriate to use a syntax like
below to switch VMS

It appears something is wrong with glob() on VMS.

With respect to the odd corruption seen previously on VMS, but now no longer
visible, might this patch have had something to do with it? I believe that
the change I made was correct. If so, then because it removed a large over-

These are the patches needed for the tests FIRST_MAKEFILE.t and
PL_FILES.t to pass on VMS.
I have seen no response to the patch in the message I am replying to, is
there a problem with it?
There are also two typo fixes in MM_Unix.pm and MM_VMS.pm that are

Did you have to make any changes to globmapper.t? It passes ./ to glob and
it uses [] to mean a character class, not a VMS directory.
No, but I have made a note on my personal TO DO list about that.
