I seriously doubt there are any modules realted to this in any way. Except maybe Shell.pm. > I plan to write a script that checks for and then deletes massive > numbers of files. I'm sure many will have spaces in the name. Perl generaly doesn't have any problems handling such files, you may have to enclose the filenames in quotes when starting other executables, but if you stay within Perl you don't need to care. Try to write the script you need and come back if you run into problems.
