Could you provide an example? I can't find a case where shellwords deviates from bash's behavior. Also I don't think shellwords promises to do variable interpolation. In fact, it doesn't promise much at all. > Perl make <http://dapfy.bei.t-online.de/make.pl/> now contains a > similar function shellparse, which corrects these bugs.
