The poster to which I replied implied that File::HomeDir shouldn't return paths with spaces (since he said not changing it would be backwards).

    Um, no. Let me quote my post for you

    You could suggest a documentation update to File::HomeDir that highlights the fact that it's common for path with spaces to be returned.

    Seems backwards to me. cpan has for a long time been broken with regards to spaces in paths, and it is a known issue. I doubt a patch to File::HomeDir documentation is going to have an impact.

    Hmm, after thinking about it, such a warning actually sounds quite stupid , along the lines of warning: an integer can be a negative number :/

    Where did i say not changing the documentation would be backwards?
      Who said you did? I said you said not changing File::HomeDir was backwards.

        I did not say that either. I did not imply it either.
