I've applied a less invasive version of this patch, see below.
However, putting such a dependency on File::Spec is a bit disturbing,
even if limited only to VMS. Wouldn't it be better to fix the tests
instead ? (post-5.10 maybe)
Change 32214 by [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 2007/11/03 10:12:06
Based on a patch by John E. Malberg: make TestInit.pm
use an absolute path in @INC, so that changes of directories
don't break dynamically loaded modules.
