Hey PerlingTheUK,

Here's a quick fix for you until you get around this problem. It produces correct results for those dotty filenames both under Windows XP (5.6.1 active perl) and Linux (RedHat 9, 5.6.1 as well).

my $f = ". .";
my $result = minuse ($f);
print "[$result]\n";

sub minuse { -f $_[0] || &minusd}
sub minusd {local *D; opendir (D, shift) && (close (D) || 1)}
