Dunno, what you're doing is all gibberish to me so far. I haven't touched
MM_VMS in a while. December 2007 to be exact and Sept 2006 before that.
Though this is curious...

The internal calls to eliminate_macros() and fixpath() should simply be
removed from File::Spec::VMS. They're only used to deal with make macros, its
a very MakeMaker specific thing.
They were left in place so that new versions of File::Spec would continue to
work with older (pre 6.11 which is from perl 5.8.0 and older) versions of
MakeMaker. That was five and a half years ago. It's safe to remove them.
