filename problem

[JARLE MARTINSEN +41 22 730 5949 <JARLE . MARTINSEN @ ITU . CH>]

Hi, 

I got Majordomo v1.93 working with no problems, except
one minor one.  In a list.archive I got a file called
something&.zip - no, the & sign is not a typo.

The zip being a binary file, should be uuencoded. The
shlock.pl file was modified according to a previous
posting in this mailing list - and it works, except when the 
filename has one of these funny characters in it.

It looks like the & sign is being interpreted by the shell...or
something...

The code in shlock.pl is as follows;

 sub main'lopen {
    local($FH) = shift;
    local($mode) = shift;
    local($file) = shift;
    # $fm is what will actually get passed to open()
    local($fm) = "$mode$file";
#
# add uuencode 
#
    if ($mode !~ '>' && -B $file) {
        local($myfile) = $file;
        $myfile =~ s%^.*/%%;
        $fm = "uuencode $file $myfile |";
    }
#
#
    local($status);
    local($tries);

Majordomo sees the file, and notifies me by mail saying it 
will send the file in the next mail (or something like that).

Next mail contain nothing...

Does anybody have a fix to this minor, but annoying problem.

Thanks in advance.
