NAME

File::Spec::VMS - methods for VMS file specs

SYNOPSIS

 require File::Spec::VMS; # Done internally by File::Spec if needed

DESCRIPTION

See File::Spec::Unix for a documentation of the methods provided there. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not the semantics.

• canonpath (override)

  Removes redundant portions of file specifications according to VMS syntax.

• catdir (override)

  Concatenates a list of file specifications, and returns the result as a VMS-syntax directory specification. No check is made for "impossible" cases (e.g. elements other than the first being absolute filespecs).

• catfile (override)

  Concatenates a list of file specifications, and returns the result as a VMS-syntax file specification.

• curdir (override)

  Returns a string representation of the current directory: '[]'

• devnull (override)

  Returns a string representation of the null device: '_NLA0:'

• rootdir (override)

  Returns a string representation of the root directory: 'SYS$DISK:[000000]'

• tmpdir (override)

  Returns a string representation of the first writable directory from the following list or '' if none are writable:

      sys$scratch:
      $ENV{TMPDIR}

  Since perl 5.8.0, if running under taint mode, and if $ENV{TMPDIR} is tainted, it is not used.

• updir (override)

  Returns a string representation of the parent directory: '[-]'

• case_tolerant (override)

  VMS file specification syntax is case-tolerant.

• path (override)

  Translate logical name DCL$PATH as a searchlist, rather than trying to split string value of $ENV{'PATH'} .

• file_name_is_absolute (override)

  Checks for VMS directory spec as well as Unix separators.

• splitpath (override)

  Splits using VMS syntax.

• splitdir (override)

  Split dirspec using VMS syntax.

• catpath (override)

  Construct a complete filespec using VMS syntax

• abs2rel (override)

  Use VMS syntax when converting filespecs.

• rel2abs (override)

  Use VMS syntax when converting filespecs.
