File::Spec::VMS not usable due missing VMS/Filespec.pm
Last modified: 2013-10-07 02:21:34 EDT
Description of problem: Perl module File::Spec::VMS is not usable on Fedora as no package provides its requirement of VMS::Filespec. # yum provides 'perl(VMS::Filespec)' No matches found Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-PathTools-3.40-1.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. perl -e 'use File::Spec::VMS' 2. 3. Actual results: Can't locate VMS/Filespec.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/File/Spec/VMS.pm line 13. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/File/Spec/VMS.pm line 13. Expected results: no such error Additional info: Line 13: 'use VMS::Filespec;'
It's not possible to use File::Spec::VMS without VMS::Filespec, and VMS::Filespec is not installed on Linux because it depends on VMS native code. (There is a pure-Perl implementation of VMS::Filespec, but it's not production-ready as is disabled by upstream (vms/ext/Filespec.pm).) Also File::Spec documentation states: > Since some modules (like VMS) make use of facilities available > only under that OS, it may not be possible to load all modules under all > operating systems. Currently, only the File::Spec::VMS is not possible to use on Linux. Thus I'm going to resolve this issue by removing File::Spec::VMS from the distribution.
