--- Comment #1 from Petr Pisar <ppisar at redhat.com> ---
It's not possible to use File::Spec::VMS without VMS::Filespec, and
VMS::Filespec is not installed on Linux because it depends on VMS native code.
(There is a pure-Perl implementation of VMS::Filespec, but it's not
production-ready as is disabled by upstream (vms/ext/Filespec.pm).)

Also File::Spec documentation states:

> Since some modules (like VMS) make use of facilities available
> only under that OS, it may not be possible to load all modules under all
> operating systems.

Currently, only the File::Spec::VMS is not possible to use on Linux. Thus I'm
going to resolve this issue by removing File::Spec::VMS from the distribution.
