Hello everybody.

I've been looking into the following test failure, which I get on the

kit

lib/ExtUtils/t/Installed.............FAILED at test 22

The problem is, that Extutils::Installed trusts filenames to be usable as 
module/package names. This does not work with mixed-case package names under the 
well-known VMS non-mixed-case filesystem!

The test script creates a package 'FakeMod', but since the filename will later be 
found by ExtUtils::Installed as 'fakemod', test 22 fails.

I attach a patch to ExtUtils::Installed, which reads the .pm file and tries to find 
the correct mixed-case package name and use that. At this time, I have made the 
behaviour VMS-specific, since it could have a perhaps quite substantial performance 
impact, from having to read read all the files rather than just looking at their names.

    Best regards
