That's the infamous DOS 8.3 compatibility. Many software, is written with
Win9x API's in mind (and NOT the WinNT API) that cannot stand spaces or long
file names. So does Perl.
Be sure that your version of perl supports filenames that include a space
(physically) or avoid the spaces as you found your selves.
