I am still working out how to do the fix for this, but I have
runthrough.t failing only one test.
Part of the problem has turned out to be that base.pm is using C<qr{}>
to build patterns for finding files.
This causes a case sensitive search for files.
It is specifically searching for '.PL' files, and by default, Perl on
VMS returns all filenames in lower case, so this never matches.
The regex needs to be set to case insensitive when
File::Spec->case_tolerant is one.
It looks like there are several instances of this, but in the other
cases, the filename portions of the patterns are in lower case.
I have not yet figured out how to make the regex conditionally case
insensitive, and if there are additional problems beyond that.
