in thread I go crazy with windows filenames with spaces!

Your problem is less with Windows but with your roundabout way of using Perl as if it were a command shell instead of using the Perl built-in ways.

    I try to use module when coding in Perl only if there is no other way. I just like to know what is happening in my script in every line. If you "overuse" other people's work you can run into trouble one day :)

    (This is my general opinion about mass using modules/classes when developing new application, we can discuss it here if you want.)

      You'd rather use code that's only as good your skills can produce, code that hasn't had time to get vetted and improved. And you think you'll run into less trouble?

      Wow, step away from the computer, its someone elses module :P

      Cwd is a CORE module, it comes with perl.

        Come on, this is not the case. I only explained why even after I knew such a module exists I tried to work around. In such a situation built-in module is ok.
