Issue #1630 has been reported by emerose.

Feature #1630: exec type should allow passing of arguments as an array rather
than a string

Priority: Normal

Complexity: Unknown
Affected version: 0.24.4
Keywords:
The exec type takes commands and arguments as a string, (@"echo foo"@) which
will then get passed to /bin/sh (@sh -c "echo foo"@) by Kernel#system.
This can make things pretty awkward if the command you're trying to execute
contains shell metacharacters or quotes of its own, and under appropriately
pathological conditions could even be a security problem... (username '"&&rm
-rf /' or something? *shrug*)
It'd be grand if the exec type would support passing things around as arrays.
eg:
<pre>
exec {"example":
command => "/bin/echo",
arguments => ["*", "yay", "*"],
}
</pre>
(Passing an array to Kernel#system bypasses the shell completely:
