The following Perl program, when run in the root directory, will go through all files and subdirectories recursively and move files that have special/non-printable characters to the /tmp directory. Special/non-printable characters for this particular case are all those except "\w", "." and "-".
If you comment line 10 and uncomment line 11, then the program uses the native zip utility to add all such files into a zip file called "badlynamedfiles.zip" that is created in the root directory. The files are added to the zip archive and removed, leaving only the good ones behind.
In case of move (mv), the full paths of the moved files are not preserved. So the latest identically named file overwrites the previous one.
In case of zip, the full paths are preserved in the zip archive.
Testing for mv:
