David's D/DA/DAGOLDEN/Perl-Dist-Vanilla-5 used both dir and directory:)

Well, I think that suggests pretty definitively that "directory" needs
to be added to the spec, at least, to reflect de facto usage.
As for "dir", I'm three of the 13, so discount those. I'm not sure
that's worth adding to CPAN. Maybe it calls for dropping "dir" from the
spec unless anyone else knows who's using it.
