glob("tmpdir/a*.tmp") is returning "tmpdir/a1.tmp" as expected.
I will need to look at adding the case of ./dir/* to the glob tests.

There are certainly limitations to the home-grown glob() on VMS. It
basically just converts the '?' wildcard to '%' and calls
LIB$FIND_FILE. See Perl_start_glob() in doio.c. Also relevant is
trim_unixpath() in [.vms]vms.c, which makes a very modest attempt to
pick apart the pieces of a Unix path spec containing wildcards and
put them back together again.
As of OpenVMS 7.3-2, the C Library provides a glob() function, so it may
be better to use it on Perls built on that release or later rather than
trying to fix it a different way.
