I don't know a single file unpacking tool for 8.3 file systems that would not automatically rename any file that is longer than 8.3 anyway. 8.3 is not a concern any more today. MS-DOS has had VFAT for half a decade, ISO 9660 had had RockRidge and Joliet for half a decade, and I don't think Perl ran ever or will ever run on CP/M. Just forget about the 8.3 restriction.
