Could we postpone this change for after 5.10.0 ?
I was thinking the same thing. It at least needs to wait until I can
test it on various older and newer VMS systems. I would like us to
focus on getting Module::Build synched up and watch for anything that
comes up from other CPAN synching. I'm not up-to-the-minute on how
much of the latter is still expected.
I mainly wanted Craig to get this as another step in toward getting
symbolic link support on VMS.
The remaining step is for Cwd.pm to use these routines for the
abs_path() routines instead of the what it is currently doing.
If the input file specification is in UNIX format, then the
VMS::Filespec::realpath() should be used if available, and if the input
file specification is in VMS format, then the VMS::Filespec::realname()
should be used if it is available.
What I do not know how to do is have Cwd.pm detect if the new routines
are present.
