Hi,
I'd gladly take a VMS module.
I don't there would be a lot to do.
At the top of the Proc/Background.pm is the test for the OS that
is being used and the selection proper module that becomed the
super class. I would just look for the $is_windows value in
the module and change the code there.
Then you would copy the Unix.pm or Win32.pm and make a VMS.pm.
It could be made pluggable also. I don't have the time to help
write POD for making this pluggable however.
Patches welcome :)
Best,
Blair
