No this is not something to worry about for VMS perl. The 5.6.0 release
of perl is the first with a new File::Glob module that gets called
automatically when you do glob() from within perl, with the exception
of those platforms that #ifdef that out. VMS is one such platform since
the globbing syntax differs a bit from the unix syntax. The tests were
written for a more unix like glob environment. There has been a patch
posted to this list to rewrite the test to avoid trouble on VMS, but
it would have to be applied by hand.
