This is a bug report for perl from [EMAIL PROTECTED], generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.0. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The problem is that the arguments passed to exec() are not passed as they are to the called program, but instead are split on whitespace. Example: perl -e "exec$^X,'-e','print+join+q{,},@ARGV','foo boo bar'" prints: foo,boo,bar system() works fine: perl -e "system$^X,'-e','print+join+q{,},@ARGV','foo boo bar'" prints: foo boo bar ----------------------------------------------------------------- --- Flags: category=core severity=low --- Site configuration information for perl v5.8.0: Configured by ActiveState at Mon Mar 31 00:45:28 2003.
