It would help tremendously if you at least specify on which platform you're working. Also, I'd like solutions to all my problems too, but I'm afraid I'm not going to get them.
But, I'm in a good mood as it's the birthday of my mother-in-law, so I'll provide a workaround which works at least on Linux and Apple OSX. You can use spaces in file/directory names by escaping the space characters with a backslash.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::NCopy qw(copy);
my $src = "Dir With Spaces";
my $dst = "Target_Dir";
# Escape whitespace characters
$src =~ s/(\s)/\\$1/g;
# Copy recursively
copy \1, $src, $dst;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
