From
$ perldoc VMS::Filespec:
If you're running under VMS, the routines in this package are special,
in that they're automatically made available to any Perl script, whether
you're running miniperl or the full perl. The "use VMS::Filespec" or
"require VMS::Filespec; import VMS::Filespec ..." statement can be used
to import the function names into the current package, but they're
always available if you use the fully qualified name, whether or not
you've mentioned the .pm file in your script. If you're running under
another OS and have installed this package, it behaves like a normal
Perl extension (in fact, you're using Perl substitutes to emulate the
necessary VMS system calls).
