Hello,

I have recently asked our sysadmin to install ruby on one of our OpenVMS
machines. It is the version from the HP freeware CD.

But unfortunately, some very basic stuff does not seem to work, like for
example:

  open 'tmpdir'
  p File.join(tmpdir, "file.dat")

will output:

  "/tmp/file.dat"

which is clearly *not* what I want...And if I set the TMP environment
variable:

 define/nolog TMP sys$scratch:

the output will become even worse:

 "USR:[BUTER.DEVEL.RUBY]/SYS$SCRATCH:/test123"

that's my current directory with the TMP value added in a most horrific
way.

Now, I assume I'm doing something completely wrong, here. Anyone care to
enlighten me? :)

Regards,

Renald
