I think you've misunderstood somewhere. The code that I proposed does
not have a multiple-quotation bug, but what you've committed *does*,
for the CWD part. (I'm not sure what part of my suggestion you think
gets this wrong. None of it introduces any delimiters itself.)
For the main path attribute, calling .perl on the Str gets you one layer
of quotation, which is exactly what you need. For CWD, calling .perl on
the Pair object (as in my code) would again get you the needed single
layer of quotation. What you've committed does ":CWD<{$!CWD.perl}>",
which totals two layers of quotation. It gets one layer of quotation
from .perl (on the Str value), and then surrounds that in a second
layer of quotation consisting of the literal angle brackets. You could
correct your code by changing the angle brackets to parens, following
the arrangement you used for the SPEC part, ":SPEC({$!SPEC.perl})".
You got quoting right once already (Str.perl). Stop trying to do the
same job again!
