in reply to Filenames beyond 260 chars in Perl on WinXP

You know what. I'd love to see you post an example of a path that reasonably (look it up) justifies the use of a path that requires more that 260 chars.

This brings to mind the Bugatto Veyron. That's a 8-litre, 16 cylinder, 1001 bhp, 256 mph/ 407 kph, $1e6, 2-seater sports car. Technically achievable, but of no practical value at all.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
