How can I open a file with a leading "żçô¾" or trailing blanks?
Normally perl ignores trailing blanks in filenames, and interprets certain leading characters (or a trailing ``|'') to mean something special. To avoid this, you might want to use a routine like this. It makes incomplete pathnames into explicit relative ones, and tacks a trailing null byte on the name to make perl leave it alone: sub safe_filename {
local $_ = shift;
return m#^/#
? "$_\0"
: "./$_\0";
}
$fn = safe_filename("<<<something really wicked ");
open(FH, "> $fn") or "couldn't open $fn: $!";
