Hello,

whenever I do this

use strict;
my @files = `curl --max-time 120 --list-only --disable-epsv --silent
--show-error ftp://anonymous\@ftp.apple.com`; (or any other ftp site)
chomp @files;
print "files : @files\n";

A jumbled-up list of files is printed onscreen. Whenever I assign each
of the file names to a perl variable and print it,

foreach my $file (@files) {
        print "The file is $file\n";
}

Some of the characters surrounding the $file variable in the print
string are overwritten by the file name. This happens both with version
7.10 and version 7.12 on Linux and MacosX.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks.
