=head1 NAME

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

=head1 SYNOPSIS

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

=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

The default behavior is to allow either VMS or Unix syntax on input and to 
return VMS syntax on output, even when Unix syntax was given on input.

When used with a Perl of version 5.10 or greater and a CRTL possessing the
relevant capabilities, override behavior depends on the CRTL features
C<DECC$FILENAME_UNIX_REPORT> and C<DECC$EFS_CHARSET>.  When the
C<DECC$EFS_CHARSET> feature is enabled and the input parameters are clearly
in Unix syntax, the output will be in Unix syntax.  If
C<DECC$FILENAME_UNIX_REPORT> is enabled and the output syntax cannot be
determined from the input syntax, the output will be in Unix syntax.

# Catchall routine to clean up problem MM[SK]/Make macros.  Expands macros
# in any directory specification, in order to avoid juxtaposing two
# VMS-syntax directories when MM[SK] is run.  Also expands expressions which
# are all macro, so that we can tell how long the expansion is, and avoid
# overrunning DCL's command buffer when MM[KS] is running.

# fixpath() checks to see whether the result matches the name of a
# directory in the current default directory and returns a directory or
# file specification accordingly.  C<$is_dir> can be set to true to
# force fixpath() to consider the path to be a directory or false to force
# it to be a file.
