OK, I discovered the problem. safe_rel() doesn't work correctly when I am using
a rooted logical. For example, if I use the following logical:
"PERL_SRC" = "DKA0:[USER.JPEACOCK.PERLSRC.]"
and then
set def perl_src:[perl.t]
and
$perl = safe_rel(File::Spec->abs2rel($perl));
returns
"[--.user.jpeacock.perlsrc.perl]perl.exe;1"
which (oddly enough) doesn't work. If I use the following logical:
"PERL_ROOT" = "DKA0:[USER.JPEACOCK.PERLSRC.PERL.]"
and
set def perl_root:[t]
then I get
"[-.user.jpeacock.perlsrc.perl]perl.exe;1"
(note one fewer hyphen).
