Subject: Can't copy files with spaces?
perl 5.8.2 File::NCopy 0.32 - 0.34 Linux inferno 2.4.22 #15 Tue Oct 21 13:37:09 BST 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux File::NCopy seems unable to copy files which have spaces in the filename. If I use File::Copy instead it works fine. e.g. the following program dies with File::NCopy but not with File::Copy #!/usr/bin/perl use File::NCopy qw(copy); open(A, "> a test"); print A "Hello\n"; close(A); die unless copy("a test", "another test");

As File::NCopy uses glob function, you should put such file name in quotes. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net
