I just ran it on IA64 with a perl 5.8.7 kit and it went ok:
$ set def [.t]
$ perl lib/vmsfspec.t
1..142
ok 1 - eval unixify('__some_:[__where_.__over_]__the_.__rainbow_')
ok 2 - unixify('__some_:[__where_.__over_]__the_.__rainbow_'):
'/__some_/__where_/__over_/__the_.__rainbow_'
ok 3 - eval unixify('[.__some_.__where_.__over_]__the_.__rainbow_')
<snip>
ok 135 - eval File::Spec->canonpath('__dev:[__dir.][000000]__foo')
ok 136 - File::Spec->canonpath('__dev:[__dir.][000000]__foo'):
'__dev:[__dir]__foo'
ok 137 - rmsexpand()
ok 138
ok 139
ok 140
ok 141 - using redirected mkdir()
ok 142 - rmdir()
No problems. Did you want a report for somthing closer to bleedperl
than 5.8.7?
One thing to note is that much of the VMS implementation of VMS::Filespec
is embedded in the perl binary itself - in the code for vms.c - in order
to make miniperl on VMS more capable of building the extensions (basically
so that ExtUtils::MakeMaker will run).
HTH.
