Right; that's why I asked.  I knew it wasn't a limit in the filesystem, but
that the Mac OS certainly enforced it on HFS+ volumes.

I looked up those three Unicode files under Mac OS 9 on my Mac OS X volume,
and they were there, but had "#H" (some apparently hex string) between the
name and the extension, so it was like:

        CJKUnifiedIdeographsExt#360E.pl
        IdeographicDescriptionC#3630.pl
        UnifiedCanadianAborigin#3651.pl

That is the installed stuff.  The unpacked perl 5.6.1 stuff (unpacked under
Mac OS X :-) is:

        CJKUnifiedIdeographsEx#15306.pl
        IdeographicDescription#15323.pl
        UnifiedCanadianAborigi#15347.pl

I wonder if that is some inode number or something?
