NAME

6       File::Spec::VMS - methods for VMS file specs
7

SYNOPSIS

9        require File::Spec::VMS; # Done internally by File::Spec if needed
10

DESCRIPTION

12       See File::Spec::Unix for a documentation of the methods provided there.
13       This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not the
14       semantics.
15
16       canonpath (override)
17           Removes redundant portions of file specifications according to VMS
18           syntax.
19
20       catdir (override)
21           Concatenates a list of file specifications, and returns the result
22           as a VMS-syntax directory specification.  No check is made for
23           "impossible" cases (e.g. elements other than the first being abso‐
24           lute filespecs).
25
26       catfile (override)
27           Concatenates a list of file specifications, and returns the result
28           as a VMS-syntax file specification.
29
30       curdir (override)
31           Returns a string representation of the current directory: '[]'
32
33       devnull (override)
34           Returns a string representation of the null device: '_NLA0:'
35
36       rootdir (override)
37           Returns a string representation of the root directory:
38           'SYS$DISK:[000000]'
39
40       tmpdir (override)
41           Returns a string representation of the first writable directory
42           from the following list or '' if none are writable:
43
44               sys$scratch:
45               $ENV{TMPDIR}
46
47           Since perl 5.8.0, if running under taint mode, and if $ENV{TMPDIR}
48           is tainted, it is not used.
49
50       updir (override)
51           Returns a string representation of the parent directory: '[-]'
52
53       case_tolerant (override)
54           VMS file specification syntax is case-tolerant.
55
56       path (override)
57           Translate logical name DCL$PATH as a searchlist, rather than trying
58           to "split" string value of $ENV{'PATH'}.
59
60       file_name_is_absolute (override)
61           Checks for VMS directory spec as well as Unix separators.
62
63       splitpath (override)
64           Splits using VMS syntax.
65
66       splitdir (override)
67           Split dirspec using VMS syntax.
68
69       catpath (override)
70           Construct a complete filespec using VMS syntax
71
72       abs2rel (override)
73           Use VMS syntax when converting filespecs.
74
75       rel2abs (override)
76           Use VMS syntax when converting filespecs.
