Re^4: I go crazy with windows filenames with spaces!

Ok it works with cwd() magic. I can continue with my script. However, let us assume we are studying Perl on Perl Univeristy and we want to get current directory with  $path = `cd`; Can we do it and use it with opendir() later or not ? This is surprising for me I can see exactly same path in both cases but the second one doesn't work.

I'm not sure that $path with your additional substitutions and "c:/documents\ and\ settings/username/desktop/perf_analyzer" result in the same string. In fact, if you print out the two, they are different. Why are you doing such weird substitutions like prefixing each space with a backslash?

Because it isn't a space or a single character at the end, like I already demonstrated.
