Probably not that useful to most people, but it helps newbies like me in windows a little bit. It's a module that makes file directories/names that you drag and drop into the command prompt (for reading/writing to) readable by the program.
package FileNamePrep;

use strict;
use Exporter;
use vars qw($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK %EXPORT_TAGS);

$VERSION = 0.1;
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT = ();
@EXPORT_OK = qw(promptfilename);
%EXPORT_TAGS = ( DEFAULT => [qw(promptfilename)],
         Both => [qw(promptfilename)]);

sub promptfilename {
    my $file; 
    while(! $file){
        $file=<>;
        chomp($file);
        $file =~s/^"(.+)"$/$1/;
    }
return $file;
}
1;
