No, I have now discovered the true cause of the problem. Perl requires the "-" and the "@" to be escaped. Quite why, perhaps someone can tell me, but I suspect Apple's own filename is illegal. However, this does not explain why
cd [EMAIL PROTECTED]
works in the shell wqithout complaint.
This does work:
#!/usr/bin/perl
"$ENV{HOME}/Library/Mail/POP\-eremita\@pop3.demon.co.uk";
opendir ACC, $acc;
for (readdir ACC) {/\.mbox$/ and print "$_\n"}
$result = <<FIN
Deleted Messages.mbox
Drafts.mbox
INBOX.mbox
FIN
#
How, now, do I convert the contents of $app,
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to
"/Library/Mail/POP\-eremita\@pop3.demon.co.uk" ?
And what other characters will need to be escaped?
