I did not see that one.  I did not check the resolved queue on 
rt.cpan.org when I looked it up.

I think that using vmspath() is more robust as it will correctly any 
translations that need to be done for converting Unix character sets to 
ODS-2 when needed, and pass them through when they do not need conversions.

This way in ODS-5 mode a directory will not be unexpectedly renamed.
