For a robust compare, you must separate the file spec components and

And delimiters preceded by "^" in a VMS file specification are not
delimiters. "^" is a quote meta character to pass through special
characters with out interpretation. Most of Perl can not yet handle
that feature of VMS file specifications.
Use File::Spec for the splitting/compaision then?
I would have to look to see if there was a suitable splitter that
resulted in a string that could be compared.
Here there be dragons.
File::Spec on VMS (like most of Perl) only understands the VMS ODS-2
syntax, not the newer ODS-5 syntax. Updating it is on my TODO list, but
there are several other things ahead of that.
