In pp_ctl.c, on VMS, normally the path used for the %INC key is in

The load conditional code does a require using the VMS format, and
since it does not match the key in UNIX format, modules can be
loaded twice. This showed up by causing the extract tests to emit
diagnostics about routines being overridden.
This patch forces the %INC key to be in UNIX format so that the
modules will not be loaded twice.
In 01_Module_Load.t, on VMS, the $file for the module will now be
returned in UNIX format.
In 01_Module_Load_Conditional.t, some work arounds are needed for
issues with VMS handling of UNIX pathnames incorrectly.
Hmm, these 2 files are part of modules i maintain -- is the applied
patch
only required after your change to pp_ctl.c or in general? if so, do
you have
a CPAN'able fix as well?
Also, if possible, please Cc the module maintainer (if you know who
they are
of course ;) on such changes.
Thanks,
Jos
