Open filename with special characters in Perl

Hi All,
I am facing a weird problem. I have got a directory structure copied from windows to Linux. Some of the folders are named like

/gfs/data/Dow Jones $5/ DJ FCBOT_O_tick_1998.zip
/gfs/data/Dow Jones $5/ DJ FCBOT_O_tick_2000.CSV
/gfs/data/Dow Jones $5/SomeTextHere$10Futures_8811_27484684-fc45-4933-b359-88105a0d984d.CSV

I am able to read the above two lines, no problem. But, while reading the third file it gives me error: no such file and directory found.

Please suggest some good solution.

Thanks in anticipation.

Shatru.

NAME
processcsv.py - process virt-top CSV files SUMMARY
virt-top --csv data.csv processcsv.py < data.csv DESCRIPTION
virt-top is a top(1)-like utility for showing stats of virtualized domains. processcsv.py is a simple Python script that post-processes the output of "virt-top --csv". It is used like this: virt-top --csv data.csv processcsv.py < data.csv The second command will overwrite the following files in the current directory: "global.csv" This contains the global (host) statistics columns from the CSV file. "domainNN.csv" (multiple files) For each libvirt domain ID NN, a file is created containing the per-domain statistics from the CSV file. SEE ALSO
