I have discovered that Perl on OpenVMS has components that expect UNIX
style shell macros in file specifications to be translated intact
through vmsify() and unixify().
On the OpenVMS ODS-5 filesystem, "./$(xxxx)" is a legal filename and is
expressed in native terms as "[]$^(xxxx^).".
Perl expects that it will get translated to "[]$(xxxx)" though so that
it can be passed through to make type programs.
Correction:
I first assumed that the "xxxx" was restricted to the ASCII
Alpha-Numeric character set and beginning with an Alpha character
because that was the only examples I had seen of it until today.
