+&gt; I have to wonder what filesystem you have there where 147 characters
+&gt; is a long filename. Ikiwiki already uses `POSIX::pathconf` on the srcdir
+&gt; to look up `_PC_NAME_MAX`
+&gt; to see if the filename is too long, and shortens it, so it seems
+&gt; that, in additional to having a rather antique long filename limit, your
+&gt; system also doesn&#39;t properly expose it via pathconf. Not sure what
+&gt; ikiwiki can do here. --&#91;&#91;Joey&#93;&#93;
