Hi all. I have a problem that _must_ have a very simple solution
(that I can't find).
I use the module Getopt::Long to read arguments, one of which is a
file path that may have spaces. The path string that is returned from
Getopt has spaces without escape chars. The string seems to be fine

Duh. Of course you have the binary GMP library installed--otherwise

I see this used a lot but never really understod it the documentation
also seems very vague. Anyone care to explain the following:
-M OPERAND Returns the age of OPERAND in days when the program started.
Thanks.

Well I'm not sure. I may be explaining this badly. I'll go thru all
the details in case it helps.
The path I pass when I'm executing the script is escaped, which I
assume is correct.
Once that path is read by Getopt, I print it and, voila, no escapes,
just nice-to-read spaces.

Now I think I understand better, thanks.
The idea of changing the record separator to something else I borrowed
from another thread on the list archives, which dealt with a similar
problem to mine. I have large text files that contain multi-line,
multi-paragraph sections that pertain to a var
