That's got it! Thanks. I had been calling from DCL this:
find(\&wanted, unixify(shift()));
but unixify turns DISK:[DIR.SUBDIR] into /DISK/DIR/SUBDIR/ with a trailing
slash. I can remove that slash by hand.
Hmm this is DEC C version dependent. I'd guess that putting a warning
into the pod for File::Find wouldn't be appropriate and I am not
sure about that for VMS::Filespec. Maybe README.vms or VMS::Filespec?
