https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/perl-with-short-filenames/m-p/4600548#M9671 Hi,<BR /><BR />does anybody know if it is possible to force perl to use short filename (8.3/ ~-notation) instead of the long ones?<BR /><BR />My problem: I have a script (created by find2perl and modified) which searches old files to delete them. It searches through data on a NAS filer using the UNC path, but it terminates as soon as it comes to a folder (long names) that is longer than 256 chars.<BR /><BR />HeL Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:12:26 GMT Heiner E.
