I think they do.  Isn't there some standard that defines the contents of the 
timezone rule string?  Mine looks like:

  "SYS$TIMEZONE_RULE" = "CST6CDT5,M4.1.0/2,M10.5.0/2"

Gotcha.  It uses relative path syntax but it's assembled from all the pieces 
of the absolute path (except the device spec).

That should work, though you may have to define PERL_CORE in the environment 
for some tests.  To run the whole test suite you can of course just do 
MM(S|K) TEST.  The canonical way to run individual tests is

$ @[.vms]test .exe "" -"v" [-.lib.File.Spec.t]rel2abs2rel.t
