Strong quotes and spaces

We ran into a problem because of a shop that uses Windows and UNIX. The file names that Windows uses have spaces in them. When they get moved to the unix system they still have spaces. This produces a problem in our script that moves them again from one unix system to another. I've made up a...

2. UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

When did UNIX start using encrypted passwords, and not displaying passwords when you type them in?

I've been using various versions of UNIX and Linux since 1993, and I've never run across one that showed your password as you type it in when you log in, or one that stored passwords in plain text rather than encrypted. I'm writing a script for work for a security audit, and two of the...

NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::RequireASCII - Disallow high-bit characters.

AFFILIATION

       This policy is part of Perl::Critic::More, a bleeding edge supplement to Perl::Critic.

DESCRIPTION

       ASCII is a text encoding first introduced in 1963.  It represents 128 characters in seven-bit bytes, reserving the eighth bit for error
       detection.  Perl supports a large number of encodings.  However, if you really want the ultimate in backward compatibility, ASCII is it!
       (We won't even talk about EBCDIC and the like...)

       This policy is not recommended for everyone.  Instead, most of you should probably strive for one of the Unicode encodings for maximum
       forward compatibility.
