in reply to Escaping special characters in filename for Net::SCP

Hi
I know this is not the same as quoting correctly to get the module to accept the name, but...If you are wanting to retain the '>' in the name have you considered replacing it with &gt as you would in HTML code? '&' is not an invalid character and you could just interpret the name at the other end? ie. silly>name.doc -> silly&gtname.doc
Just a thought...

Regards Paul.
