I just changed the following in PERL_SETUP.COM:

--- perl_setup.com;2    Tue May 28 15:43:58 2002
+++ perl_setup.com;1    Tue May 28 14:51:38 2002

-$ define/translation=concealed perl_root DKA0:[USER.JPEACOCK.PERLSRC.PERL.]
+$ define/translation=concealed perl_root DKA0:[USER.JPEACOCK.PERLSRC.PERL_ROOT.]
  $ ext = ".exe"
  $ perl :== $perl_root:[000000]Perl'ext'
  $ define PerlShr perl_root:[000000]PerlShr'ext'

and then ran it.  That way I can run tests by just calling

        perl harness [-.lib.File.Spec.t]rel2abs2rel.t
or 
perl [-.lib.File.Spec.t]rel2abs2rel.t

so I am not using TEST.COM at all (since none of _my_ scripts will be using it 
either).  It still seems to me that safe_rel() should not choke on rooted logicals.
