[Since ExtUtils-Manifest is now primarily maintained by Perl 5 Porters, I am moving this ticket here from https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2746. -- jkeenan]

maniread() needs to deal better with the non-case preserving nature of VMS.

It currently does this clumsily by downcasing the filenames. This is lossy. Also, VMS isn't always non-case preserving.

Instead, have maniread() return a tied case-insensitive hash on VMS.

This issue *may* have been addressed by subsequent work on the VMS-specific parts of ExtUtils::Manifest.  Craig (or anyone with VMS chops), can you comment?

Thank you very much.
