| Subject: | catdir should be catfile, this impacts VMS. |
Please see bug report 8020, filed under XML::SAX::Base, subject is:
"In makefile.pl of XML-SAX-Base, catdir should be catfile, this impacts VMS. "
http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=8020
Also please note that in the test case file 99cleanup.t, the call to catdir should be replaced by a call to catfile, this is for the same reason provided in the bug report 8020.
'catdir' is called when the last argument is a filename, I imagine on most other OS the filename provided is a valid directory name (and hence this is not a problem), however on VMS a directory name cannot contain a dot/period. The fix is to use 'catfile', this expects the last argument to be a filename.
Thank you,
