Cwd.pm will need an update for OpenVMS past version 8.2, for supporting
symbolic links and the UNIX emulation modes.
Using the realpath routine in Cwd.pm has a very significant performance
penalty as compared to using the realpath() routine that will be
provided by OpenVMS.
OpenVMS can usually come up with an untainted cwd specification when in
UNIX emulation mode. The tests expect it to be tainted though, which
means instead of using realpath("."), I have to translate a tainted
specification which was obtained from $ENV{PATH}.
Currently I have a mutant version for 5.8.7, but it may depend on other
changed modules.
