Something is wrong with the stat code. I will try to look at it
tonight.
To be more precise, the problem has to be in the perl_cando code.
In file::spec->_tmpdir() the -w test is used to make sure that the
temp directory is writable, and it falls back to "." if it can not
find one of '/tmp', '/sys$scratch', or $ENV{tempdir} as writable.
Thanks. The blead build is currently broken so don't synch first.
Hopefully we'll get it all sorted out soonish.
I am glad that I did not. I am running a test build now.
It was in the EFS internal version of vmsify("/SYS$SCRATCH"). It was
incorrectly translating it to "SYS$SCRATCH:[000000]".
I am a bit surprised that this did not show up sooner. In addition to
the patch to VMS.C, I need to add a test for this.
