You're right. When you try to access that file directly, it barfs on
the special character. It does work as an included file -- the compiler
can handle that just fine. I don't think this is necessarily a poblem
with the request handler though -- funny characters like that are not legal
for Perl module names.
So what could the code really do in this case? We probably need to document
that you shouldn't use funky characters in the psp file names as they get
translated into package names. For files included via:
<%@ page include="file"%>
it's not a problem, as it's a file system level issue.

You have to start by applying for an account on source forge. Then
one of the project admin's for Pas has to give you write access.
