in reply to File name is long to copy

The code you pasted has funny HTML markup in the middle of the $source filename.

The part of the filename that says: 

so­urce_specific
-><---

[download]
has HTML between the "o" and the "u".

The HTML says: 

<font color="red"><b><u><wbr>­</u></b></font>

THis is also true of $target.

I'm not sure if that is an artifact of the way this site renders the code .. but there appears to be a problem with what it contains.

    I don't see anything like that in the post, so it must be how this site renders the code for you. Check Code Wrapping in your Display Settings.
    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

      Thank you for pointing that out -- Yes - it does appear to have something to do with local rendering.

      My setting has "Code Wrap Length" set to 100 , and "Auto Code Wrapping" enabled.

      The inserted HTML starts at the 104'th character, so it is likely that some characters (probably backslashes \\) do not count.

      The inserted HTML does have a clue that it has to do with wrapping:

      <font color="red"><b><u><wbr>­</u></b></font>

      I learned that:
      The <wbr> (Word Break Opportunity) tag specifies where in a text it would be ok to add a line-break.
