I am writing a script that needs to recurse through subdirectories on a WinNT server and produce a text document with names of files that are older than 30 days. Our server is being used by true Windows users. So there are spaces in the Directory names. When my script hits a directory with a space it dies. Does anyone know a side step to spaces in directories on a Win32 system? The File::Find works fine. It is when it tests the file. When it tests a file in a path like "m:\my department\foo.txt" it dies. I know with Linux you can add a \ before the space and it will work just fine. 
use strict;
use File::Find;

open (FOO, ">>filelist.txt");
find(\&TEST_FOR_AGE, '.');

sub TEST_FOR_AGE {
  print "$File::Find::name\n"; 
  
  if (!( -e "$File::Find::name")){
      print "Help $File::Find::name doesn't exist!!";
      exit;
  }
  if ((-M "$File::Find::name" >= 30) && (-f "$File::Find::name")) {
         print FOO "$File::Find::name\n";
   } 
   print "\n";
}

close FOO;
