Basic unix
okay, im having some trouble. Go ahead, call me a retard, but i keep getting stuck. Suppose i want to open a Picture of Jesus(for the sake of simplicity) using unix. I type:
open Desktop/Pictures/Jesus.jpg
It opens, and its all well and good. But, suppose i want to open a picture called Joe Average. i type:
open Desktop/Pictures/Joe Average.jpg
and it wont let me. It just says something along the lines of 'Desktop/Pictures/Joe does not exist.' But the thing is, i didnt want a file called 'Joe'. I wanted 'Joe Average.jpg'. Why cant i use spaces?

pod::text::overstrike
Pod::Text::Overstrike(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Pod::Text::Overstrike(3)
NAME
Pod::Text::Overstrike - Convert POD data to formatted overstrike text
SYNOPSIS
use Pod::Text::Overstrike;
my $parser = Pod::Text::Overstrike->new (sentence => 0, width => 78);
# Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
$parser->parse_from_filehandle;
# Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
$parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.txt');
DESCRIPTION
Pod::Text::Overstrike is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that highlights output text using overstrike sequences, in a manner similar to
nroff. Characters in bold text are overstruck (character, backspace, character) and characters in underlined text are converted to
overstruck underscores (underscore, backspace, character). This format was originally designed for hard-copy terminals and/or line
printers, yet is readable on soft-copy (CRT) terminals.
Overstruck text is best viewed by page-at-a-time programs that take advantage of the terminal's stand-out and underline capabilities, such
as the less program on Unix.
Apart from the overstrike, it in all ways functions like Pod::Text. See Pod::Text for details and available options.
BUGS
Currently, the outermost formatting instruction wins, so for example underlined text inside a region of bold text is displayed as simply
bold. There may be some better approach possible.
