Not perlish at all, but why don't you tar the whole bunch of files at mac end, upload (you may compress it with, say MacGzip to get faster upload) tar-file and then (gunzip, if compressed) tar xf the tar-file at the unix end. That keeps the filenames unchanged. I use suntar 2.0.5 (check the Suppress names remapping checkbox in options) at mac end. Works fine. tar should be installed on every UNIX. -- Esa RistilŠ * http://www.uta.fi/~eesau/ eesau@uta.fi * Homo homini lupus ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
