So what happens when those characters are encountered? I use something
similar to search for temp, cache & recycle folders, but have no odd
characters to deal with.
BTW, use chomp($DIR) instead of the regexp to remove the trailing \n.
Also, on the command that fails, check it's error status with or die,
like this:
&GetPerms($DIR) or die "Cannot process '$DIR': $^E";
