String to array problem

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

I have been scratching my head trying to figure out
how to turn a string with quotes in it into an array.

my $x='ls -al "Program Files" "Moe Curly Larry"';

Desired result:
my @y;
   $y[0] = 'ls';
   $y[1] = '-la';
   $y[2] = 'Program Files';
   $y[3] = 'Moe Curly Larry';

Any words of wisdom?

Many thanks,
-T
